The great consoler, and the Christian’s bowl.
Where’s the proud bachelor who’ll dare to say
He never lov’d a damsel in his day?
Or where’s the spinster, when she heaves a sigh,
Can tell of none for whom she once could die?”
[174] The seat of Lord William Mountjoy:—Arnold’s father.
XI.
When Arnold Mountjoy bade the Prews farewell,
It jarr’d the elder-ears, as doth the knell
Of some departed child—lov’d, but too well.
