1ftAN Il VT MAJ oisLCt''
I stood before his tomb and felt the rush
OF strong sensation thrilling through my preaS''
All mem'ry Of the past, all future nope :,
Yielded and were absorbed in the dxad thought
That for moment chained my Utmost soul.
gaZed upon the spot rs though my eye
Could never be Withdrawn from the sad pile
As though my fancy nothing could contain
Beside the contemplation OF the soul
OF yast insatiatc, unsubdued ambition,
Which once gave Wig rous life and animation
To the cold mass Of clay that now reposed
In calm serenity beneath the sod
This is the end Of greatness. His valiant fame
Had chained the admiration OF the world;
His very name had scattered wild despair,
And seemed to shake the pillars Of the earth.
Kingdoms, republics, empires, stood amazed:
The fabrics OF the great OF former times,
That bearded fearlessly the dire attacks
OF Time, and Of the changes wrought by Time
In manners, science, arts and government
Had tremblcd at the name Of BoSAPARrE.
He was, indeed, creations ruling star.
Sccptres and crowns were shivered at breath;
The life the fate Of millions, seemed TO hang
Upon the nod of one caprieious man
Commotions, turbulence, and wild dismay,
Pervaded Europe's proudest, nobiest states,
Until his proud, ambitious, mad career,
Seemed 10 invoke the wrath Of God and man
Upon creations unrelenting foe.
He fell, and in his turn became the sport
And mockery Of those he had oppressed.
His person was confined upon an isle,
A barren, waste, inhospitablc rock,
And guarded with stict and cruel watch
As if his finger had but crook d aJoint,
The world again had trcmblcd.
His gallant soul they never could subduc.
Although a mortal power curbcd his will,
His spirit still retained its fercest fire,
And bsrst the cords which bound it to the earth,
And scared beyond the reach OF human hate
