Richest in corporal gifts and wealth of mind,

Honour and fame attending him abroad,

Peace and all dear domestic joys at home,

And sunshine till the evening of his days

Closed in without a cloud, ... even such a man

Would from the gloom and horror of his heart

Confirm thy fatal thought, were this world all,

Oh! who could bear the haunting mystery,

If death and retribution did not solve

The riddle, and to heavenliest harmony
