'''Songe to Aelle''' by Thomas Chatterton (1752-1770) Lines 19 to 24 and 31 to 36 :Oh thou, where'er (thie bones att reste) :Thie sprite to haunt delyghteth beste, Whytherr uppon the bloude embrewedd pleyne, :Orr whare thou kennst fromme farre, :The dysmalle crie of warre, Orr seeste somme mountayne made of corse of sleyne; … :Or fierie rounde the mynsster glare; :Lette Brystowe stylle bee made thie care; Guarde ytte fromme foemenne and consumynge fyre, :lyche Avone streme ensyrke ytt rounde; :Ne lett a flame enharme the grounde, 'Tyll in one flame, all the whole worlde expyres.
