In death's immobile majexty he sleeps, | Before the altar, 'neath the chancel floor; | Here his mute Muse a mournful vigil keeps, | While Groef broods motionless for evermore; | Nor hopeful hymn nor anthem wholly banish, | From the sad mind, the woe that will not vanish, | Rememb'ring Missolonghi, and what went before.
