Chapter 29 THE PAGEANT

When I may read of tilts in days of old,

And tourneys graced by chieftains of renown,

Fair dames, grave citoyens, and warriors bold-

If fancy would pourtray some stately town,

Which for such pomp fit theatre would be,

Fair Bruges, I shall then remember thee.

Southey, Pilgrimage to Waterloo.
