The noble hart at bay, now the far horn,

A little vex’d at losing of the hunt,

A little at the vile occasion, rode, 235

By ups and downs, through many a grassy glade

And valley, with fix’d eye following the three.

At last they issued from the world of wood,

And climb’d upon a fair and even ridge,

And show’d themselves against the sky, and sank. 240

And thither came Geraint, and underneath

Beheld the long street of a little town
