The cristall water ran so clere and cold,  
  That in myn ere maid contynualy  
  A maner soun, mellit with armony,  
  That full of lytill fischis by the brym  
  Now here now there with bakkis blewe as lede  
  Lap and playit, and in a rout can swym  
  So prattily, and dressit tham to sprede  
  Thair curall fynnis as the ruby rede,  
  That in the sonne on thair scalis bryght  
  As gesserant ay glitterit in my sight.
Line 1060 - The Kingis Quair
