Hold a memorial; not where Ægypt mirrors

The great smile of her kings and sunsmit fanes

In timeless silence: none hath been like him;

And all the giant stones, which men have piled

Upon the illustrious dead, shall crumble and join

The desert dust, ere his high dirging Muse

Be dispossessèd of the throne of song.

Await him here. While I thy willing maids

Will lead apart, that they may learn what share

To take in thy rejoicing. Follow me!
