  ON 
  THE

  BENEATH 
  THE 
  BATTLEMENTS 
  OE 
  WARWICK 
  CASTLE 
  

  

  To 
  sense 
  the 
  glory 
  of 
  the 
  past, 
  one 
  should 
  leave 
  the 
  convenient 
  railways 
  of 
  England 
  and 
  

   float 
  on 
  the 
  quiet 
  rivers 
  of 
  the 
  land. 
  Such 
  weathering 
  walls 
  of 
  huge, 
  silent 
  castles 
  stand 
  as 
  

   mute 
  memorials 
  to 
  a 
  rich 
  history, 
  festooned 
  with 
  epoch-making 
  events.
