• Within this lowly grave a Conqueror lies,
      And yet the monument proclaims it not,
      Nor round the sleeper’s name hath chisel wrought
    The emblems of a fame that never dies,—
    Ivy and amaranth, in a graceful sheaf,
    Twined with the laurel’s fair, imperial leaf.
        A simple name alone,
        To the great world unknown,
    Is graven here,...
