From Hampstead Heath the Flete doth run

a tributary at Gospel Oak then seeks to join it

and doth entwine at Camden Town and so combine,

a matrimonial columbine at Pancras Church.

At Battle Bridge it come besmirched by pestilence

 from the west at Woburn Place a stream comes in,

near Charterhouse another rill through city fields

doth merge and so a veritable rush begins.
