No chronicle of all thy warlike pride,
To testify what once thou wert, how great,
How glorious, and how fear’d. So perish all,
Who seek their greatness in dominion held
Over their fellows, or the pomp of war,
And be as thou forgotten, and their fame
Cancell’d like thine! But thee in after times
Reclaim’d to culture, Shepherds visited,
And call’d thee Orgarston; so thee they call’d
Of Orgar, Saxon Earl, the wealthy sire
