First of all brought the crumblings down on pate,

Which trip man's foot still, plague his passage much,

And prove—what seems to you so picturesque

Boasts tessellated pavement,—equally

Affected by the scorpion for his nest,—

While what o'er-roofs bed is an architrave,

Marble, and not unlikely to crush man
