YOUR parks are unsurpassed in noble trees; A finer bath than yours one seldom sees; Grand is your colonnade, and all complete The stone mosaic underneath your feet; Your steeds are fine; your hunting-grounds are wide, And gleaming fountains spout on every side; Your drawing-rooms are grand; there's nothing cheap Except the places where you eat and sleep! With all the space and splendor you have got, Oh, what a charming mansion you have not! |
