bourn

Now, it is pretty widely known that no uglier river oozes down to its bourn in the sea through unwholesome banks of low mud.

Mr. Bourn was succeeded by the Rev. John Hoyle, who was minister for seventeen years.

But Du Meresq would be sucked down in the blue lake, and travel to that bourn alone.

Milton in Comus uses bosky bourn in the same sense perhaps with Shakespeare.

Shakespeare: "That undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns."
