A mixed array of ancient armour, swords,

Pikes, shields, and banners, antlered heads of stags,

Brave hunting horns, with arrows, bows, and spears,

And other relics marking the career

Of different ages—freeborn forest life—

The reign of chivalry—bold sporting days—

Down to the quiet of the present time

Of peace and fireside comfort. Many rooms,

To link the present with the past, unchanged

Retain their ancient fashion, some are framed
