First published in the collection The Town Down the River, it features a khaki suit being derided becomes it comes up short next to "iron clothing," and singles out the Medici for praise. Often "sigh[ing] for what was not," this title figure "mourned Romance, now on the town" and "dreamed, and rested from his labors".

For 10 points, name this poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson, whose titular protagonist, "a child of scorn, grew lean while he assailed the seasons."
