While, deep its sacred bowers within
Shrined from the world's oppressive din,
Cool in the broad verandah's shade,
The hero of the scene is laid:
Around him shine the works of Buhl,
The living bronze, the gold pendule;
The Grecian group, the Tuscan vase,
The case of humming birds from Mawe's;
The Titian glowing from Madrid,
(A Monarch's self was there outbid;)
The Venus starting from her nest,
Not Lansdowne has her lighter drest.
