edifyde

Updated: April 30, 2025

A little, lowly hermitage it was, Downe in a dale Far from resort of people, that did pas In treveill to and fro: a litle wyde There was a holy chappell edifyde, Wherein the hermite dewly wont to say His holy things each morn and eventyde; Thereby a crystall streame did gently play, Which, from a sacred fountaine welled forth away.
