'Courtiers and patrols in two ranks divide;
Through both he passed, and bowed from side to side.'

His garden at Mildenhall was celebrated for the quality of its grapes,
and Sir Thomas used to send every year hampers filled with these grapes,
and carried on men's shoulders, to London for the Queen. That stubborn
Radical and Freethinker, Tom Paine, was born at Thetford. Sir John
Suckling, a Suffolk poet, has written, at any rate, one verse never
excelled:

'Her feet beneath her petticoat,
Like little mice, stole in and out,
As if they feared the light.
But oh, she dances such a way,
No sun upon an Easter day
Is half so fine a sight.'

England has in all parts of the world sons and daughters who have
deserved well of the State, and not a few of them are East Anglians by
birth and breeding. May their fame be cherished and their examples
followed by their successors in that calm, quiet, Eastern land--far from
the madding crowd--where the roar and rush of our modern life are almost
unknown--where farmers weep and wail but look jolly nevertheless!
