"Now it is the time of night,
That the graves all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his sprite
In the churchway paths to glide."
115. _For thou canst read_. The "hoary-headed swain" of course could
_not_ read.
116. _Grav'd_. The old form of the participle is _graven_, but
_graved_ is also in good use. The old preterite _grove_ is obsolete.
