A mother, brothers, sisters, and the like,

That looked up to my face when days were dim,

And fancied they found light there—no one spot,

Foppishly sensitive, but has paid its pang.

That, and not this you now oblige me with,

That was the Vigil-torment, if you please!

The poor old noble House that drew the rags

O' the Franceschini's once superb array

Close round her, hoped to slink unchallenged by,—

Pluck off these! Turn the drapery inside out
