Note 24 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
— Knaresborough, Knaresbrough or Knaresburgh, is thus pleasantly celebrated in Drayton’s “Polyolbion”: —
“From Whernside Hill not far outflows the nimble Nyde, Through Nytherside, along as sweetly she doth glide Tow’rds Knaresburgh on her way — Where that brave forest stands Entitled by the town[A] who, with upreared hands, Makes signs to her of joy, and doth with garlands crown The river passing by.”
