RICH CARPETS, QUILTS, THE DEVIL AND ALL

Anthony feigns him Sick of late, 
   Only to shew how he at home, 
Lies in a Princely Bed of State,
   And in a nobly furnish'd Room,
Adorned with pictures of Vandike's,
   A pair of Chrystal Candlesticks,
Rich Carpets, Quilts, the Devil, and all:
   Then you, his careful Friends if ever
You wish to cure him of his Fever,
   Go lodge him in the Hospital.

"Epigram de Mons. Maynard," by Charles Cotton, 17th Century.

I guess hospitals were as horrendous then as they are now? 

Rich Carpets, Quilts, the Devil and all...bring. it. on. The Borromeo villa fits the bill nicely, I think:

According to W Magazine, the Borromeo's still vacation at the villa in the summer months: 

"Maggiore maintains a quieter and less crowded air than Como, its glitzier, more celebrity-filled neighbor to the east.  That's George Clooney— those people," the Principessa scoffs."
