Not illustrated. 1819 Excerpt: ...you. The tardy hand of Time these ruins saves, To heap their fragments on more recent graves: SO Still I regret the massy mitred roof, Of priestly power the monument and proof; The stately edifice that zeal had raised, On which admiring countries fondly gazed; For there, in courts adorn'd by selfish pride, Driven from the world, would Charity reside; And Hospitality the gate unbarr'd Though Superstition would the wicket guard.--Poor hapless monks! absolved from rules austere, Your affluence fled, and with it your good cheer! 60 Great sufferings you endured by your free will; By your deliverance--far greater still! Grant, your devotion was a little blind, To wake so roughly from it--was unkind: Better to admit more light into the cage, Than thus destroy the fabric in a rage. But lucid order rises from confusion: What say you, Benedictine and Carthusian? Lords of the soil of Cluny and St. Maur, Your palaces I like, your pride abhor! 70 Your golden harvests faced the checquer'd plain; Proof that your labours were not all in vain: --Yes, I admire your wide extended boast, Of sheltering forests and sea-circled coast; Through which the indurated hand of Toil, With no rude harrow tore the mellow soil: Your woad-stain'd windows and your oak-bound doors, Mosaic pavements, tessellated floors; Your verderers, your vert, and your venaison, Your haircloth--stripes--and Kyrie Ele-ison; 80 Your fervent zeal, humility, and more--Your care of all the substance of the poor; Muskets and pikes--have proved that this was wrong: What prove we not, with arguments so strong? When cannons roar'd their demonstrations too, What could a host of minor Canons do? Oh, blest asylums! oh, retreats of peace! No more your herds are heard, nor flocks increase? Majestic cloisters! awe-compellin...
