HE PRAYS THAT SHE WILL BE NEAR HIM AT HIS DEATH WHICH HE FEELS APPROACHINGB

Go plaintive verse to the cold marble goA
Which hides in earth my treasure from these eyesC
There call on her who answers from yon skiesC
Although the mortal part dwells dark and lowA
Of life how I am wearied make her knowA
Of stemming these dread waves that round me riseC
But copying all her virtues I so prizeC
Her track I follow yet my steps are slowA
I sing of her living or dead aloneD
Dead did I say She is immortal madeE
That by the world she should be loved and knownD
Oh in my passage hence may she be nearF
To greet my coming that's not long delay'dE
And may I hold in heaven the rank herself holds thereG

Go melancholy rhymes your tribute bringB
To that cold stone which holds the dear remainsI
Of all that earth held precious utteringB
If heaven should deign to hear them earthly strainsI
Tell her that sport of tempests fit no moreJ
To stem the troublous ocean here at lastK
Her votary treads the solitary shoreJ
His only pleasure to recall the pastK
Tell her that she who living ruled his fateL
In death still holds her empire all his careG
So grant the Muse her aid to celebrateL
Her every word and thought and action fairG
Be this my meed that in the hour of deathM
Her kindred spirit may hail and bless my parting breathM
