ON KEATS, WHO DESIRED THAT ON HIS TOMB SHOULD BE INSCRIBED—
'Here lieth One whose name was writ on water.
But, ere the breath that could erase it blew,
d**h, in remorse for that fell slaughter,
d**h, the immortalizing winter, flew
Athwart the stream,—and time's printless torrent grew _5
A scroll of crystal, blazoning the name
Of Adonais!
