EPIGRAM ON THE BUSTSIN RICHMOND HERMITAGE. 1732

Jonathan Swift

With honour thus by Carolina placed, How are these venerable bustoes graced! O queen, with more than regal title crown'd, For love of arts and piety renown'd!

How do the friends of virtue joy to see Her darling sons exalted thus by thee! Nought to their fame can now be added more, Revered by her whom all mankind adore.
