The barley-season goes on briskly.  Hops are poling.  Curlews clamour.  *The Saxon word hlithe, whith the h aspirate before it, signifies clivus: hence no doubt two abrupt steep pasture-fields near this village are called the short, & long lithe.  Much such another steep pasture at about a mile distance is also called the lithe.  Steethe in Saxon sigifies ripa, a perpendicular bank: hence steethe swalwe, riparia hirundo.
