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.
