“ The poet composed some Bacchanalian verses, which are engraved on the silver stem in which the cup is mounted: the lines are to be found in any edition of his works. The communion service is of gold, and the workmanship in excellent taste; it is a fine specimen of antique art, and is held in high veneration by the good people of Newstead and its neighbourhood. ”
