Сторінка 143 - In Britain's Isle, no matter where, An ancient pile of building stands : The Huntingdons and Hattons there Employ'd the power of Fairy hands To raise the cieling's fretted height, Each pannel in achievements cloathing, Rich windows that exclude the light, And passages, that lead to nothing.
