| his friends his trees the restless swerving sea | C |
| Three days to live they said the kind gave four | B |
| They glide about his bed silently | C |
| Twas not the lead of battle nor the shell | D |
| the spitting of Maxim s basiliskine breath | E |
| Twas through the falseness of the winds he fell | D |
