ENGELBERG, THE HILL OF ANGELS[504]

For gentlest uses, oft-times Nature takes

The work of Fancy from her willing hands;

And such a[505] beautiful creation makes

As renders needless spells and magic wands,

And for the boldest tale belief commands.

When first mine eyes beheld that famous Hill

The sacred Engelberg, celestial Bands,

With intermingling motions soft and still,
