! stood beside the body OF one dead
Who had in life been alien to all good;
Had ever with the baser party stood,
Was ever to the meaner practice wed.
But now the form from which the soul had
fled
Was calm as sleep, and, on the marble
face,
OF gross or evil passion not one trace
Remained. Then softly to mvself said;
Much do we hear about the grievous wrong
Done BY the flesh to the indwelling soui,
But here was one,-and many there
may be
Like him, -whose spiritual part was strong
The subject flesh most basely to control.
Now from that long enslavement
1t Is free.
