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,
