Then slowly climb the many-winding
way,
And frequent turn to linger as you
go,
From loftier rocks new loveliness
survey,
And rest ye at ‘Our Lady’s
House of Woe;’
Where frugal monks their little
relics show,
And sundry legends to the stranger
tell:
Here impious men have punished been;
and lo,
Deep in yon cave Honorius long did
dwell,
In hope to merit Heaven by making earth a Hell.
