...ut-down, a pasty costly-made,
Where quail and pigeon, lark and leveret lay,
Like fossils of the rock, with golden yolks

Prime, which I knew; and so we sat and eat
And talk’d old matters over; who was dead,
Who married, who was like to be, and how

In the pleasant weather.
Laura stretched her gleaming neck
Like a rush-imbedded swan,
