Heirs thus denied afflict the pining heart,

And thus afforded, jealous pangs impart;

Let, therefore, none avoid, and none demand

These arrows number’d for the giant’s hand.

Then with their infants three, the parents came,

And each assign’d - ’twas all they had - a name;

Names of no mark or price; of them not one

Shall court our view on the sepulchral stone,

Or stop the clerk, th’ engraven scrolls to spell,

Or keep the sexton from the sermon bell.
