That dimly shew’d the state in which he lay;

The sanded floor that grits beneath the tread:

The humid wall with paltry pictures spread:

The Royal game of goose was there in view,

And the twelve rules the royal martyr drew;

The seasons, fram’d with listing, found a place,

And brave Prince William shew’d his lamp-black face:

The morn was cold, he views with keen desire

The rusty grate unconscious of a fire:

With beer and milk arrears, the frieze was scor’d,
