the maiden who joined us next
- Unfeminine
dresser, medium height and lean

- Straight
boyish-cropped hair
- She has
a calm, turquoise blue stare
- When
it comes to sciences and mathematics
- She knows
many brilliant tactics
- This
girl is very knowledgeable and smart
- With
her many friends, never tart
- Honest,
kind and very virtuous is she
- Never
telling lies and full of glee
- Believes
in aliens, conspiracies and such
- About
extraterrestials, this girl knows much.
- This
one young woman understands horses
- And is
a great teacher of horsemanship courses
- She is
the daughter of the Earl of Godolphin
- In her
familys tradition of horses, she is proudly the next
of kin
- Like
her father, and many more Godolphins to be
- She own
the best Thoroughbreds as far as the eye can see
- She trains
champions at prestigious Newmarket
- On her
horse to win, the nobles bet
- On one
fine and clear day in July
- At the
start away the horses leapt as if they could fly
- The gray
horse was in the lead
- She showed
tremendous early speed
- Next,
in the Winners Circle, as the horse her head flings
- This
horse is trained by Amelia, the Queen in the Sport of Kings
- Amelias
horse won the Darby this year
- Now she
is with us on this pilgrimage here
- Travelling
with us to Canterbury today
- Amelia
is onto the next race, with her gray horse, Princess May
- On this
holy pilgrimage for fun
- She is
here to also show off how May can run
- Yet do
not doubt her true and strong faith
- In God
and Jesus and the Holy Wraith
- When
it comes to Catholicism, the Godolphins are devout
- To churches
across the country, they have been about
- Here
on this Canterbury pilgrimage, she is here now
- So please
greet Amelia, with a bow.
