Come, see the north-wind's masonry,
Out of an unseen quarry evermore
Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer
Curves his white bastions with projected roof
Round every windward stake, or tree, or door.

So fanciful, so savage, naught cares he

Sharp Boreas blows, and nature feels decay,
Time conquers all, and we must time obey.
