| He wished to show Albert the Colosseum by moonlight, as he had shown him Saint Peter's by daylight. As he stood there he began to murmur Byron's famous lines, out of "Manfred," but before he had finished his quotation he remembered that if nocturnal meditations in the Colosseum are recommended by the poets, they are deprecated by the doctors.
