Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFFGGHHIIJJKK LLMMNN

Well some may hate and some may scornA
And some may quite forget thy nameB
But my sad heart must ever mournA
Thy ruined hopes thy blighted fameB
'Twas thus I thought an hour agoC
Even weeping o'er that wretch's woeC
One word turned back my gushing tearsD
And lit my altered eye with sneersE
Then Bless the friendly dust I saidF
That hides thy unlamented headF
Vain as thou wert and weak as vainG
The slave of Falsehood Pride and PainG
My heart has nought akin to thineH
Thy soul is powerless over mineH
But these were thoughts that vanished tooI
Unwise unholy and untrueI
Do I despise the timid deerJ
Because his limbs are fleet with fearJ
Or would I mock the wolf's death howlK
Because his form is gaunt and foulK
Or hear with joy the leveret's cryL
Because it cannot bravely dieL
No Then above his memoryM
Let Pity's heart as tender beM
Say Earth lie lightly on that breastN
And kind Heaven grant that spirit restN
