204 KENILWORTH.

I will bethink me in that time of need

To mention Kenilworth, and such a host

Of questions will rain down, from those who read

Scott s wizard pages, as will doubtless make

The precious tide of talk run free again.

And when I m sitting in my grandame chair, If e er I live such honored place to fill, I 11 hush the noisy young ones, should they tease And trouble their mamma, with promised tales Of ancient Kenilworth.
