And visions float, like those that danced
Before my eyes, when George the Fourth,
Be-tartaned o’er, erewhile advanced
With knightly train, and quite entranced

Again such pageants gleam and go,
As well might form the golden theme
Of minstrel-song or morning-dream.
The last excursion formed, I ween,
