A Discourse in Honour of the Queen.
The Grotto or Hermitage, (says Mr. Osborne) her Majesty
has made at Richmond, or rather the Busto's with which she
has adorn'd it, reflect not more honour on the memories of
the dead, than glory upon herself. For Locke, Newton,
Clarke, and Wollaston, whose Busto's are there placed, were
the glory of their country. . .[2 columns about the above
men and the Queen who has immortalized them]
The following pieces were wrote on her Majesty's setting up
the above-mentioned Bustoes in the Hermitage at Richmond.
Sic siti letantur Docti.
With honour thus by Carolina plac'd,
How are these venerable Bustoes grac'd!
O Queen! with more than Regal Title crown'd,
For love of Arts and Piety renown'd!
