Was the particular spot, in which they wished

(And Heaven was pleased to accomplish the desire)

That, undivided, their remains should lie.

So, where the mouldered tree had stood, was raised

Yon structure, framing, with the ascent of steps

That to the decorated pillar[HN] lead,

A work of art more sumptuous than might seem

To suit this place;[554] yet built in no proud scorn

Of rustic homeliness; they only aimed

To ensure for it respectful guardianship.
