Holyrood Palace

(“O palais, sois bénié.”)

{II., June, 1839.}

Palace and ruin, bless thee evermore!
Grateful we bow thy gloomy tow’rs before;
For the old King of France{1} hath found in thee
That melancholy hospitality
Which in their royal fortune’s evil day,
Stuarts and Bourbons to each other pay.

Fraser’s Magazine.

{Footnote 1: King Charles X.}
