XXIII.

Could storied page or poet's lay
Have soothed the youth's unrest;
Could subtle reason's power have quelled
The tumult of his breast;
Could science have delighted,
Or eloquence have charmed,
History have raised an interest,
Or patriotism warmed;
Each in that chamber had its place;
It was the owner's care
To add to the collected store
All that was good or rare.
