Poem by Thomas Hood

On the Statues in Trafalgar Square

If Nelson looks down on a couple of Kings,
	However it pleases the Loyals; 
’Tis after the fashion of nautical things,
	A sky-scraper over the Royals.

1. Sonnet (By ev'ry sweet tradition of true hearts)
2. Stanzas (Is there a bitter pang for love removed)
3. Sonnet on Receiving a Gift
4. Written in Keats' “Endymion”
5. In Rotterdam
