Can yet within these mournful walls be found!

Thus while he spake, lights were descried far off

Moving among the trees, and coming sounds

Were heard as of a distant multitude.

Anon a company of horse and foot,

Advancing in disorderly array,

Came up the vale; before them and beside

Their torches flash’d on Sella’s rippling stream;

Now gleam’d through chesnut groves, emerging now,

O’er their huge boughs and radiated leaves
