The Legendary Ten Seconds - King Richard's Visit
After leaving Salisbury he headed west
He stayed at Bridport for a brief rest
Then to Exeter he was bound
For a warm greeting there to be found
Remarkable Antiquities
Of Exeter such a fine city
Richard Izacke wrote those words
About the visit of Richard the Third
At the East gate he was greeted
With respect he was treeted
The recorder wore a scarlet gown
The mayor presented the keys to the town
Remarkable Antiquities
Of Exeter such a fine city
Richard Izacke wrote those words
About the visit of Richard the Third
To the Bishop's Palace he then went
A letter to the Earl of Surrey was sent
Of traitors he should arrest
For a rebellion had been suppressed
Remarkable Antiquities
Of Exeter such a fine city
Richard Izacke wrote those words
About the visit of Richard the Third
From Exeter he then departed
Another journey was then started
Of this visit of Richard the Third
Perhaps you may not have heard
