| not sticks of burning incense | B |
| You lived aloof maintaining to the end | C |
| your magnificent disdain | D |
| You drank wine and told the wittiest jokes | E |
| and suffocated inside stifling walls | F |
| Alone you let the terrible stranger in | G |

| I sick with grief for the buried past | N |
| I smoldering on a slow fire | O |
| having lost everything and forgotten all | P |
| would be fated to commemorate a man | Q |
| so full of strength and will and bright inventions | R |
| who only yesterday it seems chatted with me | S |
| hiding the tremor of his mortal pain | D |
