Note 53 — TO THE MOST HONOURABLE JOHN, LORD MARQUIS OF NORMANBY, EARL OF MULGRAVE,[28] &c. AND KNIGHT OF THE MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE GARTER.
Reading edition

How if on Swithin's feast the welkin lowers, And every pent-house streams with hasty showers; Twice twenty days shall clouds their fleeces drain, And wash the pavements with incessant rain.
