LVII.

Sir Walter reigned before me; Moore and Campbell

Before and after; but now grown more holy,

The Muses upon Sion's hill must ramble

With poets almost clergymen, or wholly;

And Pegasus has a psalmodic amble

Beneath the very Reverend Rowley Powley,[KZ] [587]Who shoes the glorious animal with stilts,

A modern Ancient Pistol—"by these hilts!"[588]
