on the bank ; not, however, without having understood that 

 her lover was true, and had come to claim her. The knight 

 devoted the rest of his days to mourn her : he built himself 

 a cell upon the spot, and became a hermit for her sake. Our 

 tourist must take a guide to this waterfall from the tower. 

 He will be led over the open grass to the ravine, and then 

 along its wooded sides to the pathway above the brawling 

 stream, till it comes to a bridge, which will bring him in 

 full view of the fall. The visitor should ascend the steps

 road, winding among the farms, and then entering the 

 solitude of the pass, till the , source of the stream is found 

 in this tarn, a mile and a-half from the main-road. The 

 little lake is overhung by High Street, so that the Roman 

 eagles, as well as the native birds of the rocks, may have cast 

 their shadows upon its surface. Its rushy and rocky margin
