The Lady Adeline Amundeville

(’Tis an old Norman name, and to be found

In pedigrees, by those who wander still

Along the last fields of that Gothic ground)

Was high-born, wealthy by her father’s will,

And beauteous, even where beauties most abound,

In Britain⁠—which, of course, true patriots find

The goodliest soil of Body and of Mind.
