A LETTER FROM AN EMIGRANT

144

Hart-Leap Well is a small spring of water, about five miles from Richmond in Yorkshire, and near the side of the road that leads from Richmond to Askrigg. Its name is derived from a remarkable Chase, the memory of which is preserved by the monuments spoken of in the Second Part of the following Poem, which monuments do now exist as I have there described them.

The Knight had ridden down from Wensley

Moor
With the slow motion of a summer's cloud,
And

now, as he approached a vassal's door, Bring forth another horse !” he cried

aloud.
