Holyrood Palace.
by
(“O palais, sois benie.”)
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.
Translated by Fraser’s Magazine.
