A Picture at Newstead + 

What made my heart, at Newstead, fullest swell?⁠— + 

’Twas not the thought of Byron, of his cry + 

Stormily sweet, his Titan agony; + 

It was the sight of that Lord Arundel + 

Who struck, in heat, the child he loved so well, + 

And his child’s reason flicker’d, and did die. + 

Painted (he will’d it) in the gallery + 

They hang; the picture doth the story tell. + 

Behold the stern, mail’d father, staff in hand! + 

The little fair-hair’d son, with vacant gaze, + 

Where no more lights of sense or knowledge are! + 

Methinks the woe, which made that father stand + 

Baring his dumb remorse to future days, + 

Was woe than Byron’s woe more tragic far. + 
