Till towards night they came vnto a plaine,

By which a little Hermitage there lay,

Far from all neighbourhood[483], the which annoy it may.

And nigh thereto a little Chappell stoode, xxxv

Which being all with Yuy ouerspred,

Deckt all the roofe, and shadowing the roode,

Seem’d like a groue faire braunched ouer hed:

Therein the Hermite, which his life here led

In streight obseruaunce of religious vow,

Was wont his howres and holy things to bed;
