After some score of minutes spent In explanation And gratulation, AU parties to their pillows went ; But, from that moment Grkzy Gahhle's face Has ne'er been seen mthin the county's space !
179 THE MONKS OF OLD.
Laud ye tke monks !
They were not men of a creed austere, Who frown'd on mirth, and forbade good cheer ; But joyous oft were the brotherhood, In the depths of their sylvan solitude.
The ruin'd abbey hath many a tale Of their gay conceits and deep wassail ; The huge hearth, left to the w...reck of time.
Hath echoed of erst the minstrel's chime ; The caves, despoil'd of their goodly store.
Have groan'd 'neath their weight in days of yore !
Laud ye the monks !
The wand'rer was their welcome guest, The weary found in their grey walls rest ; The poor man came, and they scorn'd him not, For rank and wealth were alike forgot ; The peasant sat at the plenteous board With the pilgrim knight and the feudal lord ; The feast was spread, and the foaming bowl Grave freshen'd life to the thirsty soul ; Eound it pass'd, from the prince to the hind.
