TO MY FATHER Thomas Cooper Poyser THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED
Full in the midst a mighty pile arose, Where iron-grated gates their strength oppose To each invading step, and, strong and steep, The battled walls arose, the fosse sunk deep. Slow round the fortress rolled the sluggish stream, And high in middle air the warder’s turrets gleam. Anonymous.
