35 In treasure untold and in topaz-stones,

In the firm-built fortress of a far-stretching realm.

The stone courts stood; hot streams poured forth,

Wondrously welled out. The wall encompassed all

In its bright embrace. Baths were there then,

40 Hot all within —a healthful convenience.

They let then pour . . . . . . . . . .

Over the hoary stones the heated streams,

Such as never were seen by our sires till then.

Hringmere was its name . . . . . . . . . .
