    Responding to news that Daniel D Home has been ordered to leave Rome, this poem ponders the reasons for the order, suggesting that it was because the 'pictures that wink, / And statues that blink, / Can't stand spirits that rap', and that therefore 'two of a trade can't agree'. Ends by suggesting that 'There's one place like Home, and that's Rome, my dear Home'.
