“He is what you behold him, and his doom
Depends upon his deeds,” the Angel said;
“If you have aught to arraign in him, the tomb
Gives license to the humblest beggar's head
To lift itself against the loftiest.”—“Some,”
Said Wilkes, “don't wait to see them laid in lead,
For such a liberty—and I, for one,
Have told them what I thought beneath the sun.”
