We that had loved him so, followed him, honoured him,
Lived in his mild and magnificent eye,
Learned his great language, caught his clear accents,
Made him our pattern to live and to die!
Shakespeare was of us, Milton was for us,
Burns, Shelley, were with us,—they watch from their graves!
Marotta alone breaks from the van and the freemen,
— He alone sinks to the rear and the slaves!

That was beautiful :touched:
