XXV.

The Druids' groves are gone—so much the better:

Stonehenge is not—but what the devil is it?—

But Bedlam still exists with its sage fetter,

That madmen may not bite you on a visit;

The Bench too seats or suits full many a debtor;

The Mansion House,[575] too (though some people quiz it),

To me appears a stiff yet grand erection;

But then the Abbey's worth the whole collection.
