No foot night enter there but in The hot
And thirsty summer, when the fountains slept,
You could 90 up its channel in the shade,

And nus'd until the eventidc, or read
Some fine old poet, ill n. nook became
A haunt Of fairy, or the passing flow
Of water, TO my spell-bewIldel'd ear,
Seem'd like the din of some gay tournament.
