[Variant 170:
1836.
(Compressing four lines into two. )
. . . o'er Lugano blows;
In the wide ranges of many a varied round,
Fleet as my passage was, I still have found
That where proud courts their blaze of gems display,
The lilies of domestic joy decay, 1820.
That where despotic courts their gems display, 1827. ]

The casement's shed more luscious woodbine binds,
And to the door a neater pathway winds; 1820. ]
[Variant 174:
1836.
(Compressing six lines into two. )
At early morn, the careful housewife, led
To cull her dinner from its garden bed,
Of weedless herbs a healthier prospect sees,
While hum with busier joy her happy bees;
In brighter rows her table wealth aspires,
And laugh with merrier blaze her evening fires; 1820. ]
[Variant 175:
1836.
Her infants' cheeks with fresher roses glow,
And wilder graces sport around their brow; 1820. ]
[Variant 176:
1836.
(Compressing four lines into two. )
By clearer taper lit, a cleanlier board
Receives at supper hour her tempting hoard;
The chamber hearth with fresher boughs is spread,
And whiter is the hospitable bed. 1820. ]
[Variant 177:
1845.
(Compressing four lines into two. )
And oh, fair France! though now along the shade
Where erst at will the grey-clad peasant strayed,
Gleam war's discordant garments through the trees,
And the red banner mocks the froward breeze; 1820.
