And pointing to the North, as then a little Rill,
There simply takes her leave of her sweet sister Swale,
Borne to the selfe same Sire, but with a stronger gale,
Tow'rds the Humber hyes her course, but Eden making on,
Through Malerstrang hard by, a Forrest woe begone
In love with Edens eyes, of the cleere Naiades kind,
Whom thus the Wood-Nymph greets: What passage thou shalt find,
My most beloved Brook, in making to thy Bay,
That wandring art to wend through many a crooked way,
Farre under hanging Hills, through many a cragged strait,
And few the watry kind, upon thee to await,
Opposed in thy course with many a rugged Cliffe,
Besides the Northern winds against thy stream to stiffe,
As by maine strength they meant to stop thee in thy course,
And send the easly back to Morvill to thy source.
O my bright lovely Brooke, whose name doth beare the sound
Of Gods first Garden-plot, th'imparadized ground,
Wherein he placed Man, from whence by sinne he fell.
O little blessed Brooke, how doth my bosome swell, / With"

For Malerstrang to gaze upon thy beautious eyes."
"This say'd, the Forrest rubd her rugged front the while,
Cleere Eden looking back, regrets her with a smile,
And simply takes her leave, to get into the Maine;
When Below a bright Nymph, from Stanmore downe doth straine
To Eden, as along to Appleby shee makes,
Which passing, to her traine, next Troutbeck in shee takes,
And Levenant, then these,a somewhat lesser Rill,
When Glenkwin greets her well, and happily to fill,
Her more abundant Banks, from Ulls, a mightie Mere
On Cumberlands confines, comes Eymot neat and cleere,
And Loder doth allure, with whom she haps to meet,

"When Eden, though shee seem'd to make unusuall haste,
About cleere Loders neck, yet lovingly doth cast
Her oft infolding Armes, as Westmerland shee leaves,
Where Cumberland againe as kindly her receives.
Yet up her watry hands, to Winfield Forrest holds
In her rough wooddy armes, which amorously infolds
Cleere Eden comming by, with all her watry store,
In her dark shades, and seemes her parting to deplore."

To Cumberland com'n in, from the Westmerian wasts,
Whereas the readyest way to Carlill, as shee casts,

"At Eden now arriv'd, whom we have left too long,
Which being com'n at length, the Cumbrian hils among,
As shee for Carlill coasts, the Floods from every where,
Prepare each in their course, to entertaine her there,
From Skidow her tall Sire, first Cauda cleerely brings
In Eden all her wealth; so Petterell from her Springs,
(Not farre from Skidows foot, whence dainty Cauda creeps)
Along to overtake her Soveraigne Eden sweeps,
To meet that great concourse, which seriously attend
That dainty Cumbrian Queene; whence Gilsland downe doth send
Her Riverets to receive Queene Eden in her course;
As Irthing comming in from her most plenteous source,
Through many a cruell Crag, though she be forc'd to crawle,
Yet working forth her way to grace her selfe with all,
First Pultrosse is her Page, then Gelt she gets her guide,
Which springeth on her South, on her Septentrion side,
Shee crooked Cambeck calls, to wait on her along,
And Eden overtakes amongst the watry throng.
To Carlill being come, cleere Bruscath beareth in,
To greet her with the rest, when Eden as to win
Her grace in Carlils sight, the Court of all her state,
And Cumberlands chiefe towne, loe thus shee doth dilate."
"What giveth more delight, (brave Citie) to thy Seat,
Then my sweet lovely selfe, a River so compleat,
With all that Nature can a dainty Flood endow,
That all the Northerne Nymphs me worthily allow,
Of all their Nyades kind the neatest, and so farre
Transcending, that oft times they in their amorous warre,
Have offered by my course, and Beauties to decide
The mastery, with her most vaunting in her pride,
That mighty Roman Fort, which of the Picts we call
But by them neere those times was stil'd Severus wall,
Of that great Emperour nam'd, which first that worke began,
Betwixt the Irish Sea, and German Ocean,
Doth cut me in his course neere Carlill, and doth end
At Boulnesse, where my selfe I on the Ocean spend."

"The most noble River in this County [Westmoreland] is the Eden, or Ituna of Ptolomy, which we mentioned in Cumberland. It rises at a Place called Hugh Seat Morville, or Hugh Morvill's Hill, ... In its long Course it receives twelve Rivers and Brooks, some of which are considerable Streams; so that before it joins the Eimot, 'tis a very large River. Tradition says that Uter Pendragon made great Efforts to bring this River from its old Channel, but to no Purpose, which gave Occasion for the Rhyme,"

"This county is well watered by the rivers, Eden, Loder, Ken, and Lune, or Lon. The Eden, which is one of the most considerable rivers in the North of England, has its source in the very wildest part of this county, not far from the borders of Yorkshire, passes by the town of Appleby, and runs on to the N.W. into Cumberland, being joined in its progress by several streamlets from the N.E. part of the county, called Stanmore. Of this river the common people have a singular tradition that Uter Pendragon endeavoured to change the course of this river, but found all his efforts of no effect; and the tradition is still preserved by the following lines:-"
"'Let Uter Pendragon do what he can,"
"The river Eden will run as it ran.'"
