In quite a short time, oral tradition, in keeping of
the bards, whose
business
is to purvey wonders, makes the champions

sources, but from the mingled fantasy and memory of the bard who came
just before him.

High on a mountain's highest ridge,

Cuts like a scythe, while through the clouds
It sweeps from vale to vale;
Not five yards from the mountain-path,
This thorn you on your left espy;
And to the left, three yards beyond,
You see a little muddy pond
Of water, never dry;

it from side to side:
'Tis three feet long, and two feet wide.
