Description
An unattributed poem has been annotated at the beginning:

"Bath

Her dream-like magic when the sportive showers
Play hide & seek with sunshine, square and street,
Circus & Crescent on my walks I greet
Each one with acclamation.
Here, at least, England so shy of order,
Sets a feast of gracious symmetry.
And so Bath for me,
Sweet Bath, half England and half Italy."
