Chapter_1438

Sir Walter reigned before me; Moore and Campbell

Before and after; but now grown more holy,

The Muses upon Zion’s hill must ramble

With poets almost clergymen, or wholly;

And Pegasus has a psalmodic amble

Beneath the very Reverend Rowley Powley,

Who shoes the glorious animal with stilts,

A modern Ancient Pistol⁠—“by these hilts!”
