THE DUKE OF YORK'S STATUE by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR

Poet Analysis

First Line: ENDURING IS THE BUST OF BRONZE
Last Line: AND RAISED THEE UP TO WHERE THOU ART.
Subject(s): STATUES; YORK, FREDERICK AUGUSTUS, DUKE OF;
Enduring is the bust of bronze,
And thine, O flower of George's sons,
Stands high above all laws and duns.

As honest men as ever cart
Convey'd to Tyburn took thy part
And raised thee up to where thou art.
