PEACE to Torquato’s injured shade! ’twas his
| |
| In life and death to be the mark where Wrong | |
| Aim’d with her poison’d arrows; but to miss. | |
| Oh, victor unsurpass’d in modern song! | |
| Each year brings forth its millions; but how long | 5 |
| The tide of generations shall roll on, | |
| And not the whole combined and countless throng | |
| Compose a mind like thine! though all in one | |
| Condensed their scatter’d rays, they would not form a sun. | | | | |
