The Annotated 'Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes'/Upper Gévaudan (continued)

Upper Gévaudan (continued)

The bed was made, the room was fit,
By punctual eve the stars were lit;
The air was still, the water ran;
No need there was for maid or man,
When we put up, my ass and I,
At God’s green caravanserai.
--Old Play[1]

Notes edit
