AN INSCRIPTION ON THE CELL, by GILBERT WEST
First Line: Beneath these moss-grown roots, this rustic cell
Last Line: What drawing-room can boast so fair a train?
First Line: Beneath these moss-grown roots, this rustic cell
Last Line: What drawing-room can boast so fair a train?

Say, you who dare our hermitage disdain,
What drawing-room can boast so fair a train?
