Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFFGGHH IIJJKKLLMMNN| Well some may hate and some may scorn | A |
| And some may quite forget thy name | B |
| But my sad heart must ever mourn | A |
| Thy ruined hopes they blighted fame | B |
| 'Twas thus I thought an hour ago | C |
| Even weeping o'er that wretch's woe | C |
| One word turned back my gushing tears | D |
| And lit my altered eye with sneers | E |
| Then Bless the friendly dust I said | F |
| That hides the unlamented head | F |
| Vain as thou wert and weak as vain | G |
| The slave of Falsehood Pride and Pain | G |
| My heart has nought akin to thine | H |
| Thy soul is powerless over mine | H |
| - | |
| But these were thoughts that vanished too | I |
| Unwise unholy and untrue | I |
| Do I despise the timid deer | J |
| Because his limbs are fleet with fear | J |
| Or would I mock the wolf's death howl | K |
| Because his form is gaunt and foul | K |
| Or hear with joy the leveret's cry | L |
| Because it cannot bravely die | L |
| No Then above his memory | M |
| Let pity's heart as tender be | M |
| Say Earth lie lightly on that breast | N |
| And kind Heaven grant that spirit rest | N |
