Page 200 - Mongst Hatterill's lofty hills, that with the clouds are crowned, The valley Ewias lies, immured so deep and round, As they below, that see the mountains rise so high, Might think the straggling herds were grazing in the sky: Which in it such a shape of solitude doth bear, As Nature at the first appointed it for prayer...
