This goodly pile, upheaved by Wyatt’s toil, Perchance than Holland’s edifice[103] more fleet, Again red Lemnos’ artisan may spoil; The fire alarm and midnight drum may beat, And all bestrewed ysmoking at your feet! Start ye? perchance Death’s angel may be sent, Ere from the flaming temple ye retreat; And ye who met, on revel idlesse bent, May find, in pleasure’s fane, your grave and monument.
