Which, in his youth, he trod, and trod again,
A lone pedestrian with a scanty freight,[JS]
Wished-for, or welcome, wheresoe'er he came—
Among the tenantry of thorpe and vill;[JT]
Or straggling burgh, of ancient charter proud,
And dignified by battlements and towers
Of some stern castle, mouldering on the brow
Of a green hill or bank of rugged stream.[JU]
The foot-path faintly marked, the horse-track wild,
And formidable length of plashy lane,
