Of men most fam'd for courage or for counsaile
And you shall find that the desire of glory
Was the last frailty wise men put of;
Be they presidents."

The steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar!"

No pyramids set off his memories,
But the eternal substance of his greatness,–
To which I leave him."

Die fast away: only themselves die faster.
The far-fam'd sculptor, and the laurell'd bard,
Those bold insurancers of deathless fame,
Supply their little feeble aids in vain."
Author: Robert Blair
