Feels then the hope that mounts all care above,

And the pure joy that flows from pardoning love?

Such have I seen in Death, and much deplore,

So many dying - that I see no more:

Lo! now my Records, where I grieve to trace

How Death has triumph’d in so short a space;

Who are the dead, how died they, I relate,

And snatch some portion of their acts from fate.
