sir cedric hardwicke - when westwall downes by sir william strode lyrics
when westwell downes i gan to tread
where cleanely wynds the greene did sweepe
methought a landskipp there was spread
here a bush and there a sheepe:
the pleated wrinkles of the face
of wave+swolne earth did lend such grace
as shadowings in imag’ry
which both deceive and please the eye
the sheepe sometymes did tread the maze
by often wynding in and in
and sometymes round about they trace
which milkmayds call a fairie ring:
such semicircles have they runne
such lynes acrosse so trymly spunne
that sheppeards learne whenere they please
a new geometry with ease
the slender food upon the downe
is allwayes even, allwayes bare
which neither spring nor winter’s frowne
can ought improve or ought impayre:
such is the barren eunuches chynne
which thus doth evermore begynne
with tender downe to be orecast
which never comes to haire at last
here and there twoe hilly crests
amiddst them hugg a pleasant greene
and these are like twoe swelling br++sts
that close a tender fall betweene
here would i sleepe, or read, or pray
from early morne till flight of day:
but harke! a sheepe+bell calls mee upp
like oxford colledge bells, to supp
