XXXIV + 

My friends, the poet ye regret! + 

When hope’s delightful flower but bloomed + 

In bud of promise incomplete, + 

The manly toga scarce assumed, + 

He perished. Where his troubled dreams, + 

And where the admirable streams + 

Of youthful impulse, reverie, + 

Tender and elevated, free? + 

And where tempestuous love’s desires, + 

The thirst of knowledge and of fame, + 

Horror of sinfulness and shame, + 

Imagination’s sacred fires, + 

Ye shadows of a life more high, + 

Ye dreams of heavenly poesy? + 
