text_original: Above the masonry's rugged courses A turreted clock of Caroline fashion Told time to the town in black and gold. It charmed the hearts of Henry's scholars As kingly a mentor of English story As Homer's poem is of Ilion: Nor e'er in the landscape look'd it fairer Than when we saw its white bulk halo'd In a lattice of slender scaffoldings.
