Chapter 91 MARGARET BY THE MERE SIDE.

Lying imbedded in the green champaign

That gives no shadow to thy silvery face,

Open to all the heavens, and all their train,

The marshalled clouds that cross with stately pace,

No steadfast hills on thee reflected rest,

Nor waver with the dimpling of thy breast.

O, silent Mere! about whose marges spring

Thick bulrushes to hide
