Here lies a body whose majestic grace
Drew from his fellow-man unstinted praise;
Who lured emotion from her hiding place,
And thrilled the world with deeds of other days.
He that possessed, which unto Art is dear,
A grand conception of unvarnished truth;
He oft provoked a smile, more oft a tear,
Sublime and beauteous in his manly youth.
Full in the zenith of his great renown,
God gave to him his final part to play;
