When, like a goodly hart, thou wert beset

With crafty blood-hounds, lurching for thy life,

While as they feign’d to chase thee fairly down;

And that foul Scot, the minion-kissing King,

Pursued with havoc in the tyrannous hunt.

How is it vanish’d in a hasty spleen,

The Tor of Glastonbury! Even but now

I saw the hoary pile cresting the top

Of that north-western hill; and in this Now

A cloud hath pass’d on it, and its dim bulk
