A bason for that fountain in the dell;

And they, who do make mention of the same

From this day forth, shall call it Hart-leap Well.

And, gallant brute! to make thy praises known,

Another monument shall here be raised;

Three several pillars, each a rough-hewn stone,

And planted where thy hoofs the turf have grazed.

And, in the summer-time when days are long,

I will come hither with my paramour;

And with the dancers, and the minstrel’s song,
