XIX.

Sprite of Elle
speaks.
At once, ye sprites, forsake the swollen flood,
Enjoy a sight with me, a sight full fine;
Well have I vended mine for Danish blood,
Since this great structure greets my wondering eyne.
Ye that have built upon the Redcliff side,
Turn there your eyne, and see your works outvied!
