Aside from these, can any expert show
Where else the French have bent a mighty bow,
Shattered the white, and made the welkin ring
Till Art pictorial stayed to cheer and sing?

Let the Louvre answer from her stately pile
Where wasted canvas kindles Folly's smile;
Where masters muster; but from foreign lands —
Waiting, with quiet grace, on Art's commands;
Ready to bare their page of glory's scroll,
And answer Adsum when she calls the roll .
