"Find me out one so young, _so fair, so free_."

_King John to Matilda._

and afterwards,--

"Leave that accursed cell;

There let black Night and Melancholy dwell."

On l. 24. (G.) Most probably from a couplet in Burton's _Anatomy of

Melancholy_:--

"And ever and anon she thinks upon the man,

That was so fine, so fair, _so blith, so debonaire_."
