Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Monastery of Saint Werburgh: A Poem, With Illustrative Notes
IV. While thus around thy batter'd precincts dwell Oblivion's shades, and hovering (lamps impure, How shall my Muse the invidious charm dispel, Or trace the monas-trey's bounds obscure, Yet - venerable Mansion! Long the seat Of Superstition gaunt, andharrowing Fear! I - solitary - love to linger here.
