"In the very square I have crossed so oft:

That men may admire, when future suns

Shall touch the eyes to a purpose soft,

"While the mouth and the brow stay brave in bronze—

Admire and say, 'When he was alive

How he would take his pleasure once!'

"And it shall go hard but I contrive

To listen the while, and laugh in my tomb

At idleness which aspires to strive."
