Associated Poem:
"A type?" they ask, and so ask
But see, that his hair is flaxen!
And look, and you'll see that his eyes are blue,-
What then but a type of Saxon?
"But many have Saxon eyes of blue,
And many have hair that's flaxen."
Then look at the cut of his jib, and you
Will see that he's Anglo-Saxon.
And if you would question further yet,
Then why don't you up and "ax un"?
He'd tell you "Ah coomed from Zummerzett."
For he's a Somerset Anglo-Saxon.
