Are those fraternal Four of Borrowdale,

Joined in one solemn and capacious grove;

Huge trunks! and each particular trunk a growth

Of intertwisted fibers serpentine,

Up-coiling, and inveterately convolved—

Nor uninformed with phantasy, and looks

That threaten the profane; a pillared shade,

Upon whose grassless floor of red-brown hue,

By sheddings from the piny umbrage tinged

Perennially—beneath whose sable roof
