("O palais, sois benie.")

[II., June, 1839.]

Palace and ruin, bless thee evermore!
Grateful we bow thy gloomy tow'rs before;
For the old King of France[1] hath found in thee
That melancholy hospitality
Which in their royal fortune's evil day,
Stuarts and Bourbons to each other pay.

 

 

Translated by _Fraser's Magazine._
