A pierced and mangled body bare

To moated Lichfield's lofty pile;

And there, beneath the southern aisle,

A tomb, with Gothic sculpture fair,

Did long Lord Marmion's image bear,

(Now vainly for its sight you look;

'Twas levell'd when fanatic Brook

The fair cathedral storm'd and took;

But thanks to Heaven and good St. Chad,

A guerdon meet the spoiler had!)
