Description
Excerpt from The South Country
T hat 1n the goodly court, of their great sovereign ''1 amer, There might no other speech he had amongst the streams, But only of this Nymph, sweet Wandel, what she wore Of her complexion, grace, and how herself she bore.
Nor can I omit the Wiltshire and Berkshire canal, as it was fifteen years ago, between Swindon and Dauntsey, an unfrequented by-way through a quiet dairy country, and full of pike and tench among the weeds and under the tall water docks and willow herbs which even then threat ened to subdue it as they now have done.
The chief roads make south, south-east, south-west and west from London; almost the only road going east and west and not touching London is the old road known between Winchester and Canterbury as the Pilgrims'' Way.
