O Byron! greatest, noblest of our land,
Chief of sweet Poesy's immortal band!
If, from thy happy dwelling-place on high,
Far, far beyond the ambient azure sky,
Thy soul gigantic ever loves to roam
Unto thy body's cold and earthly home,
Perhaps at this moment lingering near,
Thy spirit doth regard my tributary tear,

Lord Byron, in one of his works, gives us the following lines, for his own epitaph,

"And be the Spartan's epitaph on me,

Sparta has many a worthier son than he."

But every Englishman ought to join in the sentiment I have here the pleasure to write,

"England had never a nobler son than He."

John Everard, London, May 14, 1827,

What a noble mind-but he's gone !!! and will his country do no more! surely some one of influence will cause a more noble monument to be raised to his memory. Is there no room in Westminster ?-St. Paul's. O shame on the land of thee !!! O shame on thy children and thee !!!

The master mind, the prince of poets, the pride of many nations, is no more! Nothing that can be said by his greatest admirers can add one laurel to the poet's wreath. His fame has taken the best care of itself.

"I might err,

But Shakespeare also says 'tis very silly
To gild refined gold, or paint the lily."

Some secret instinct guides my feet-they press
The very stone which guards His ashes!-less
Than thrice their meaur'd paces, duly told,
Can those unmeasurable powers enfold
Whose bold creations of mysterious birth
Seem angel-spirits, link'd to forms of earth!
Till now-

"I have not asked where thou liest low,
Nor gazed upon the spot;-

There-flowers or weeds-at will might grow,
So I beheld them not!"

A rest for weary wanderers found,
They softly lie and sweetly sleep,

Low in the ground.

The storm that wrecks the wintry sky
No more disturbs their sweet repose
Than summer evening's latest sigh,

That shuts the rose."
