Edged round with mossy fringing soft and fine.

Smooth lie the bottom slabs, and overhead

Watch elder, bramble, rose, and service-tree

And one beneficent rich barberry

Jewelled all over with fruit-pendants red.

What have I seen! O Satyr, well I know

How sad thy case, and what a world of woe

Was hid by the brown visage furry-framed

Only for mirth: who otherwise could think—

Marking thy mouth gape still on laughter's brink,
