Sturdy tweed ...

We pictured ourselves wearing sturdy tweed - 

There are sand martins flying over the wide river -

I cast my line - 

Neill and I sport Dundreary whiskers -

We take sips from our flasks - 

We are younger sons - 

I'm taking Holy Orders - 

Neill will be posted to India - 

A pike with an eye like a dull coin rules this bend in the river -
