Ye weeping muses, graces, virtues tell, 



If, sinee your all-accomplish'd Sidney fell, 



You, or afflicted Britain e'er deplor'd 



A loss, like that these plaintive lays record ; 



Such spotless honour, such ingenuous truth, 



Such ripeu'd wisdom in the bloom of youth ! 



So mild, so geutle, so compos' d a mind, 



To such heroic warmth and courage join'd ! 



He too, like Sidney, nurs'd in learning's arms, 



For nobler war forsook her peaceful charms ; 



Like him, possess'd of every pleasing art, 



The secret wish of every virgin's heart : 



Like him, cut orT in youthful glory's pride, 



He, unrepining for his country dy'd. 



GEORGE LORD LYTTELTON. 



From this column, the Portico of the House is seen 

 obliquely ; together with the British Worthies, the Temple 

 of Ancient Virtue, and the Elysian Fields :— the freshness of 

 the verdure and of the foliage, the buildings and the water, 

 all unite to make this scene one of the gayest and most 

 cheerful in the Garden. 



Two rustic Bridges over the Grotto River, conduct to 



AN URN, 



erected by the present Marquess of Buckingham, and dedi- 

 cated to his father. — Upon the Urn is the following in- 

 scription : 



GJEORGIO M. DE BUCKINGHAM,

 Viro nobili, et clarissimo, 

 Hanc Urnam 

 Mcerens, venerans, et exempli memor
