WINDSOR CASTLE


By William H. Ainsworth



           "About, about!
           Search Windsor Castle, elves, within and out."

           SHAKESPEARE, Merry Wives of Windsor
     
           "There is an old tale goes, that Herne the hunter,
           Sometime a keeper here in Windsor forest,
           Doth all the winter time, at still midnight,
           Walk round about an oak, with great ragg'd horns;
           And there he blasts the tree, and takes the cattle,
           And makes milch-kine yield blood, and shakes a chain
           In a most hideous and dreadful manner:
           You have heard of such a spirit; and well you know,
           The superstitious idle-headed eld
           Receiv'd, and did deliver to our age,
           This tale of Herne the hunter for a truth."—ibid
