No. LXXXV.—THE MARBLE ARCH
Here is a remarkably symmetrical specimen of a knight’s tour on the chess board.
It takes its name from the central archway, which this arrangement forms.

My fourth is just ten times my first
When that takes on my second;
My third and second when reversed
Double my first are reckoned.
All this is empty, though my pen
So full may seem to show it;
Reverse my first and second, then
My whole becomes a poet.

O’er distant hills the rising moon
The evening mist dispersed:
And beaming radiant in the sky
She plainly showed my first.
