And, in that mansion, children of his own,

Or kindred, gathered round him. As a tree

That falls and disappears, the house is gone;[JO]

And, through improvidence or want of love

For ancient worth and honourable things,

The spear and shield are vanished, which the Knight

Hung in his rustic hall. One ivied arch

Myself have seen, a gateway,[JO] last remains

Of that foundation in domestic care

Raised by his hands. And now no trace is left
