and all, with a knocker to its door, and a garret window to its
roof, and a bow to its second story-on a scale of twelve feet
wide by fifteen high, so that three such at least would go into
the granary of any ordinary Swiss cottage; and also our serenity
of perfection, our peace of conceit, everything being done that
vulgar minds can conceive as wanting to be done; the spirit of
well-principled housemaids everywhere exerting itself for perpet-
ual propriety and renovation, so that nothing is old, but only
" old-fashioned," and contemporary, as it were, in date and im-
pressiveness, only with last year's bonnets.

Spenser - Faerie Queene - 1 |

I know that some would fain postpone this era,
Reluctant as all
placemen
to resign
Their post; but theirs is merely a chimera,
For they have pass'd life's equinoctial line:
But then they have their claret and Madeira
To irrigate the dryness of decline;
And county meetings, and the parliament,
And debt, and what not, for their solace sent.

It
is melancholy to trace a noble thought from stage to stage of its
profanation; to see it transferred from the first
illustrious
wearer to
his lacqueys, turned, and turned again, and at last hung on a scarecrow.

Till we lose all measure of pace,

And acquire a
