          What do we then but draw anew the model
            In fewer offices, or at least desist
              To build at all?

          Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee
            And hushed with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber,

                Under the canopies of costly state,
                  And lulled with sound of sweetest melody?
