But vain are science, gluttony, and strength,
And Young Dutch Sam has met his match at length—
One whose sharp hits can ne’er be put aside,
And at the scratch will never be denied.
Brave man! we only mourn that thou art gone,
Well worthy to be dubb’d “Phenomenon.”
Sound be thy slumber in thy narrow cell,
While with a heavy heart we sigh farewell!
