Kind, generous, true wert thou:

This meed at least to goodness must belong,

That such it was. Farewell; the world’s great wrong

Is righted for thee now. 40

Rest in thy foreign grave,

Sicilian! whom our English hearts have loved,—

Italian! such as Dante had approved,—

An exile—not a slave!

Henry Lushington.
