LVII.
 

Come; let us go: your cheeks are pale;
    But half my life I leave behind:
    Methinks my friend is richly shrined;
But I shall pass; my work will fail.

Yet in these ears, till hearing dies,
    One set slow bell will seem to toll
    The passing of the sweetest soul
That ever look’d with human eyes.

I hear it now, and o’er and o’er,
    Eternal greetings to the dead;
    And ‘Ave, Ave, Ave,’ said,
‘Adieu, adieu’ for evermore.
