Excerpt from Sir Walter Scott
But ever and anon between Lay velvet tufts of loveliest green; And well the lonely infant knew Recesses where the wall - flower grew, And honeysuckle loved to crawl Up the low crag and ruin'd wall. I deem'd such nooks the sweetest shade The sun in all its round survey'd; And still I thought that shatter'd tower The mightiest work of human power; And marvell'd as the aged hind With some strange tale bewitchd my mind, Of forayers, who, with headlong force, Down that strength had spurr'd their horse, Their southern rapine to renew.
