Holyrood Palace

Holyrood Palace by Victor Hugo

 ("O palais, sois bénié.") 
 
 {II., June, 1839.} 


 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. 
 
 Fraser's Magazine. 
 
 {Footnote 1: King Charles X.}
