But ah! the passions of the trembling Lyre!—What changeful notes those Elder Names inspire!—
For now, another Name, a Royal Name
Is there, with those that heard, but can no longer hear;
Too honor'd for the silent tear,
Too lately lost, for Fame!
But ere it die upon the languid ear
Let His sad Dirge and solemn Knell proclaim,
He once our Bark did guide, now shines his Memory dear
A star engrav'd in Heav'n, by which our course to steer.
