A helmet worn by John of Gaunt, the high one !
A spur dug up at Cressy ; an old ring Worn by Queen Boadicea, the sly one !
A spear, once wielded by a Saxon King ; A tortoiseshell tom-cat, (if they could buy one!) Or any other non-descriptive thing ! Oh ! had I these, in all their rare variety, To give the darlings to the famed " Society /" * If the number and variety of articles said to have been manufactured from Shakspeare's celebrated mulberry-tree were ALL genuine, the tree must, it is conj...ectured, have contained at least, a thousand loads !
134 METROPOLITAN SKETCHES.
VII.

VIII.
The mouldering arch, the ruined abbey wall, The castle nodding o'er the dark ravine, The ivied tower, majestic in its fall, The mossy tomb where gorgeous pomp has been, The crumbling battlement of ancient hall, The shattered aisle upon the lone cliff seen, When modest twilight slowly drops her veil, Yet sheds new beauty over hill and dale.
