HOLYROOD PALACE.

_("O palais, sois bénié.")_

[II., June, 1839.]

Palace and ruin, bless thee evermore!

Grateful we bow thy gloomy tow'rs before;

For the old King of France[1] hath found in thee

That melancholy hospitality

Which in their royal fortune's evil day,

Stuarts and Bourbons to each other pay.
