positive scene. The poem seems to deal with the lower class part of society‚ the part which lives in the poor neighborhoods. The first stanza begins with the speaker wandering around London.

He uses the word chartered in the first line without any deep meaning to it‚ but the use of the word charted in the next line shows that the Thames was set up so that somehow
