In a terrible fume

He bounced out of the room,

He bounced out of the house--and page, footman, and groom

Bounced after their master; for scarce had they heard

Of this left-handed grace the last finishing word,

Ere the horn at the gate of the Barbican tower

Was blown with a loud twenty-trumpeter power,

And in rush'd a troop

Of strange guests!--such a group

As had ne'er before darkened the door of the Scroope!
