   “In theſe lone walls (their days eternal bound) / Theſe moſs-grown domes with ſpiry turrets crown'd, / Where awful arches make a noon-day night, / And the dim windows ſhed a ſolemn light; / Thy eyes diffus'd a reconciling ray, / And gleams of glory brighten'd all the day.”

   “Hid in the ſpiry volumes of the ſnake, / I lurk'd within the covert of a Brake; / Not yet deſcry'd.”
