BOLTON ABBEY. 239 a carpet of green, studded with trees and bushes, and the clear blue sky above, and we have a picture of infinite charm and beauty. The priory was founded in 1151, to the memory of Romilly Duncan, who lost his life in the foaming river below. The incident has been touchingly pic- tured in Wordsworth's poem, "the Force of Prayer." "Let there be In Bolton on the fields of Wharf, A stately priory!" The stately priory was reared; And Wharf as he moves along, To matins joined a mou...rnful voice Nor failed at even song." Harsh critics have torn the legend to pieces, but nevertheless the simple tradition will outlive the centuries. The poetic sadness lingering over the vale can never be dispelled by cold criticism. It be- longs to the legends to convey the joys or sorrows of simple hearts, shrouding even the simplest trans- actions in their poetic glimmer. Bolton Abbey rapidly grew in wealth. At the end of the thirteenth century the annual revenues amounted to nearly 13,500 dollars.
