In Memoriam

(Jmuulo ullam invenid parem f O man beloved, well did I know thy worth; In thee were kuowledge, uiuierstandinK, A spirit excellent, and lave oí right [light, Too rarely found among the sons oí earth. Vlce, error and oppresslon knew tliy mlght; Before thy steady gaze, llke hls of oíd, These llon-mouths were shut.no longer bola, They üed, all trembllng.to thelr dens oí night, Yea wisdom from the Holy Godlwas thlne; What He taught only. thal as truth was loM And henee thy crown Itsmajesty of shine, Oí longedfor journey, now no íurther need, The hlgher, purer air Is thlne Indeed, Oone wlth the angels to the land divine.
