XXVI.

“He yielded up his vital breath,
And trod the path of woe,
And sought the dreary realms of death,—
The dreary realms below,—
That he might add fresh knowledge to his store;
That he might search and know,
The secrets of that hidden shore;
And well, right well were all his toils repaid,
He pondered well those mysteries o'er and o'er
While in the land of shade.”
