The Cam

David Cam, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Smooth’d thy brows & oil’d thy tongue,

Made thy saddle firm & sprung:

Tun’d thy vowels & made them stern,

Promis’d to thee Buggin’s turn:

Gave thee such an earnest voice,

Made thee Middle England’s choice?

     David Cam, who built thee?

     Is there none to jilt thee?

The Cam

An election plea from William Blake. With apologies to The Lamb.
