Fountful

c. 1718, Alexander Pope (translator), The Iliad of Homer, Book XV 'Go wait the Thunderer's will,' Saturnia cried, / 'On yon tall summit of the fountful Ide: / There in the Father's awful presence stand, / Receive and execute his dread command.'

The golden pleasures of love and song will me whole And in fountful recesses I'll repeat (beyond the ear of shepherds) The stories I heard in a dream, and your lambent kisses I stole And stood upon a hill surrounded by songful birds

Dost thou explore Sabrina's fountful source, Where huge Plinlimmon's hoary height afoends;

Far beyond the tangible love goeth When the matron's holy fountful breast Of the slumbering infant's breathings knoweth, Distant in its rosy curtained nest :

...foliage where fountful rivers run and limpid pools lie beneath plashy rocks.
