Relic

Section four, Glendower's Oak.

Survive a soul, and hardly such of all That once lived here thy brethren; a shattered veteran, Hollow-trunk'd, and with excoriate forks deformed, Relic of ages.

Such is the oak of Chertsey, that celebrated tree, over which the storms of many centuries have passed.

The sunny bank on which it grows is covered with primroses and cowslips, and among them the little pimpernel and violet lift up their modest heads.
