VERSAILLES.
One day at Versailles the Great Louis survey'dAnd describ'd with much pomp the vast change it display'd;
“Where yon Temple now stands, overlooking the wood,
On that spot,” said the Monarch, “a windmill once stood.”
“Please your Majesty, true,” was the answer; “the mill
Is remov'd, as we see, but the wind is there still.”
