She too is dead!
That whole great race hath passed from earth away:
Pammachius, of Camillus' mighty line,
And Leta and Toxotius. All are gone!
When died the last I registered a vow:
I vowed their names should live till mine had perished.
Those names are wedded with that Tome which clasps
My life's long labour. It is gone, that life;
Yon sun new-risen is my latest sun:
Be near me, child! Thank God, another Paula
Remains to close my eyes.
