Doric Column and the Bust of Sixth Duke of Devonshire, garden sculpture.

The base of this column is inscribed with the following fragments stood on Sunium's airy steep, They rear'd aloft Minerva's guardian shrine, Beneath them roll'd the blue Ægean deep. And the Greek pilot hail'd them as divine. Such was e'en their look of calm repose, As wafted round them came the sounds of tight, When the glad shout of conquering Athens rose O'er the long track of Persia's broken flight. Though clasped by prostrate worshippers no more, They yet shall breathe a thrilling lesson here; Though distant from their own immortal shore, The spot they grace is still to freedom dear
