Attend, good sir, and lend thine ear to hear Of that fair house, No. 9 on Church Street plac’d, A structure mark’d of rank and grace, Of ancient worth and storied dignity, Within the guarded bounds of Stratford fair, Where Avon’s gentle breath doth stir the air. This noble pile, three storeys tall it stands, With cellar deep beneath its aged bones, Betwixt the mart of trade and Old Town’s heart, Hath watch’d the centuries in patient pride. First rais’d when sixteen hundred mark’d the year, When my yourself a playwrite did pass Beside its timber’d frame in youthful days. In later times, a brickéd face adorn’d Its ancient front; a bay upon the ground Doth graciously project; the roof of tile, With dormers peering like observant eyes, Keeps faithful watch above. For many years Fifteen and more—it serv’d as house of feast, Where patrons dine and merry converse share. Within, the careful hand of art hath wrought A marriage fair ‘twixt old and new design: The beams laid bare, time’s signature unhid, Are softly bath’d in lights of subtle craft, That each fair table glows in gentle warmth. The lower hall presents a hearth of brick, A bar well-built, where welcome first is giv’n, And from whose space the kitchen may be spied, In modern guise, yet fitting to the whole. Ascend thou next unto the upper floor, Where twin-set hearths bestow a noble air Upon the chambers made for feasting guests; And higher still, beneath four hundred years Of timber’d frame expos’d to reverent sight, A private room awaits selectéd souls Ten may there sup in quiet, gracious state, Enclos’d within the arms of history.
