(Men stirr’d themselves and ransack’d o’er their wit,

And did in their quiet homilies rack brain and soul

To render unto the great dead

A worthy tribute of their country’s love.

With all the modern implements of learning writ

They—each and either of them—their own favourite roll:

“Not as you like it,” be it said,—

He wrote a play while they their plans approve.)

“Will’s” cloudy days nigh spent, his sun arose!
