Note 186 — Chapter XIV · THE OLD SOUTH-WESTERN SEA-COAST—SOMERFORD, CHEWTON GLEN, MILFORD, HURST CASTLE, LYMINGTON.
Reading edition
“That narrow sea, which we the Solent term, Where those rough ireful tides, as in her straights they meet, With boisterous shocks and roars each other rudely greet; Which fiercely when they charge, and sadly when they make retreat, Upon the bulwark forts of Hurst and Calshot beat, Then to Southampton run. Polyolbion, book ii.
