The very gsn.est Of all human natures
lie Joined to courage strong,
And love ouirsacL.ng unto all Ocd's creatures,
With sturdy bate OF wrong.
Tender as woman, nanline.s and mseknssa
In him ! siii-d,
That they who! udsed hu by Lis strength ~esAness
Saw but a single Size.
Men failed betiayd him but his zeal ssemd nourishd
by failure and ty fall;
Still Q large fsIth IN human kind he cherished
Ana IN God love Tor all.
And now he rests, his grestness and bis swsstness
No more shall seem a. strife.
And death has Ii ,uldsi into calm completeness

Where the dews gis.en. AMI the SOM 4 b!rds varhs,

And the sweet heaven above
