So deeply indented, inform us, how clear.
What thousands of once busy feet have been here ; And those loop-holes and side-walls strike awe, and their power Are signs of the guarded, or oft dreaded hour !
52 These, doubtless, were rais'd in a perilous time.
When foes were around, when the Danes sought oiu* clime.
Now man meets his fellow, devoid of all fear.
Nor needs the defences and battlements here.
And here's food for reflection in this spacious room.
Once the seat of the living, now lost in... the tomb !
It is painful to witness how time, in its flight.
Hath so sadly revers'd scenes that once gave delig-ht ; Where the canvas once hung that pourtray'd the sublime^ From the hand of the artist, a theft upon time ; Now behold a pale vamish is glaz'd on thy walls.
From the slime of the snail as she lazily crawls ; AVhere the once noble footstool was dovMi to the feet.
Here the meanest of reptiles have found a retreat !
Here the gi'eat have oft met to be meny and gay, (For none will suppose it was always to pray, ) Where the best of good cheer that the earth could afford, AVhere the viands once smok'd on a bountiful board.
