    And, in the depths of heavenly peace reclined,
    Loves to commune with thoughts of tender power,--
    A shining Jacob's-ladder of the mind!

He doth entreat your grace, my noble lord,
To visit him to-morrow or next day:
He is within, with two right reverend fathers,

To draw him from his holy exercise.
