To pass through villages, and catch the hum
Forth bursting from some antiquated school,
Endow'd long since by some old knight, whose tomb
Stood in the church just by; to mark the dool
Of light-hair'd lads that inly rued their doom,
Prison'd in that old place, that with the tool,
Stick-knife or nail, of many a sly offender,
Was carved and figured over, wall, and desk, and window;
