I	A
	-
In Casterbridge there stood a noble pile	B
Wrought with pilaster bay and balustrade	C
In tactful times when shrewd Eliza swayed	C
nbsp nbsp nbsp On burgher squire and clown	D
It smiled the long street down for near a mile	B
	-
II	A
	-
But evil days beset that domicile	B
The stately beauties of its roof and wall	B
Passed into sordid hands Condemned to fall	B
nbsp nbsp nbsp Were cornice quoin and cove	E
And all that art had wove in antique style	B
	-
III	A
	-
Among the hired dismantlers entered there	F
One till the moment of his task untold	C
When charged therewith he gazed and answered bold	C
nbsp nbsp nbsp Be needy I or no	G
I will not help lay low a house so fair	F
	-
IV	E
	-
Hunger is hard But since the terms be such	H
No wage or labour stained with the disgrace	I
Of wrecking what our age cannot replace	I
nbsp nbsp nbsp To save its tasteless soul	B
I'll do without your dole Life is not much	H
	-
V	E
	-
Dismissed with sneers he backed his tools and went	C
And wandered workless for it seemed unwise	J
To close with one who dared to criticize	J
nbsp nbsp nbsp And carp on points of taste	C
To work where they were placed rude men were meant	C
	-
VI	E
	-
Years whiled He aged sank sickened and was not	C
And it was said A man intractable	B
And curst is gone None sighed to hear his knell	B
nbsp nbsp nbsp None sought his churchyard place	I
His name his rugged face were soon forgot	C
	-
VII	E
	-
The stones of that fair hall lie far and wide	C
And but a few recall its ancient mould	C
Yet when I pass the spot I long to hold	C
nbsp nbsp nbsp As truth what fancy saith	K
His protest lives where deathless things abide	C
