WILLIAM MAKEPEAcE THACKERAY.
He WAS a cypic BY his life all wrought
Of generous acts mild words and gentle ways;
His heart wide open TO all kindly thought,
HIS hand so quick to give, his tongue 10 praise.
BE was cynic: you might read it writ
In that broad brow. crowned with it's silver hair;
In those blue eyes with child-Iike caudor lit,
In the sweet smile his lips were wont to wear.
He was cynic: by the love that chung
About him from his children, friends and kin;
By the sharp pain, light pen and gossip tongue
Wrought in him. chatting the soft heart within.
He was cynic; let his books confess
His Do5bin's silent love; or yet more rare,
his Nevcynses chivalry and simpeness;
His Little Sister's life of loving care.
And II his acts, affections, works and ways
Stamp not upon the man the cynics sheer,
From life to DEATH OBJ, public, turn your gaze
The last scene Of cynical career
These unlimited crowds, this hush that lies
Unbroken till the solemn words OF prayer
From many hundred reverend voices rise
Into the sunny stiffness of the air.
These tears. in eyes but little used to tears.
These sobs from manly lips. hard set and grim,
OF friends to whom ms life lay bare for years.
Of strangers, who but knew bis books, not him.
cynic, Yes-if tits the cynic's part
To track the serpents trail with saddened eye,
To mark how good and i'll divide the heart,
How lives in chequered shade and sunshine lisj
how cen the best unto the worst is knit
How even in the worst, sparks NAV be lit
To show all is not utter darkness there.
Marking the puppets dance, the jugglers play;
Saw virtue tripping honest effort banked,
And sharpsned wit on roguery's downward way;
