—Inn which may be a veritable house

Where somebody once lived and pleased good taste

Till tourists found his coigne of vantage out,

And fingered blunt the individual mark,

And vulgarized things comfortably smooth.

On a sprig-pattern-papered wall there brays

Complaint to sky Sir Edwin's dripping stag;

His couchant coast-guard creature corresponds;

They face the Huguenot and Light o' the World.

Grim o'er the mirror on the mantelpiece,
