Hilary Manning <\/b><\/p>\n
Hilary was sitting on the Roman Road<\/p>\n
When she saw St Peter harvesting the fields<\/p>\n
She requested that he rest<\/p>\n
And she shared her meagre lunch with him<\/p>\n
After some thought Peter gave Hilary a small flint stone<\/p>\n
He told her that even though the day was now warm<\/p>\n
She would need it during the cooler months<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hilary Sold<\/b><\/p>\n
I was sitting with Hilary in a fallow field<\/p>\n
Not far from the dusty lane<\/p>\n
My friend had been mute since birth<\/p>\n
And for many years had been the useless chattel<\/p>\n
Of the wandering men<\/p>\n
I purchased her for a shilling at a Minster Mart<\/p>\n
And now she resides in the pages of my book<\/p>\n
Safe from those who might take advantage of her<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hilary Bathing <\/b><\/p>\n
Hilary Wilton was bathing in the wide waters<\/p>\n
That shared her unusual name<\/p>\n
Many people were watching her swim<\/p>\n
And marvelled at the association<\/p>\n
Later as the day became hot<\/p>\n
They entered the waters and shared her recreation<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hilary at the Windmill \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
She faced the breeze even on the most benign of days<\/p>\n
Today the air was hot and she stood proudly without resolution<\/p>\n
No-one knew of her histories<\/p>\n
But once a year her sails were painted a pure white<\/p>\n
And her drum bricks were reappointed<\/p>\n
By the craftsmen of the county<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
