If I should ever by chance grow rich I'll buy Codham, Cockridden, and Childerditch, Roses, Pyrgo, and Lapwater, And let them all to my elder daughter. The rent I shall ask of her will be only Each year's first violets, white and lonely, The first primroses and orchises--- She must find them before I do, that is. But if she finds a blossom on furze Without rent they shall all for ever be hers, Whenever I am sufficiently rich: Codham, Cockridden, and Childerditch, Roses, Pyrgo and Lapwater,--- I shall give them all to my elder daughter.
