Honest John Tyndall, then, has played his part!

Scientist brain, and patriotic heart

Both still in the last sleep, that sadly came,

Without reproach to love, or loss to fame.

Rest, Son of Science, certain of your meed!

Of bitter moan for you there is small need;

But England bows in silent sympathy

With her whose love, chance-wounded, all may see

Steadfast in suffering undeserved as sore.

Punch speaks for all true hearts the kingdom o'er
