And hours most valued now they’re past!

Beside me lies a dingle deep,[[28]]

With shaggy banks abrupt and steep;

Through vistas wild my course I bend,

Till day-light opens at the end:

Where from intoxicating height

Bursts the wide prospect on my sight.

The terrace bold, on which I stand,

Steps broad and forward on the land;

Rude hills compose the side-long scene,
