-But were I Brutus

And Brutus Antony, there were an Antony Would ruffle up your spirits, and put a tongue In every wound of Cæsar, that should move The stones of Rome to rise and mutiny.

8.

He, who hath bent him o'er the dead,
Ere the first day of death has fled;
The first dark day of nothingness,

The last of danger and distress;
(Before Decay's effacing fingers

Have swept the lines where Beauty lingers,) And marked the mild angelic air

The rapture of repose that's there

The fixed yet tender traits that streak
The languor of the placid cheek,
He-but for that sad shrouded eye,

That fires not-wins not-weeps not-now-
And but for that chill changeless brow,
Whose touch thrills with mortality,

And curdles to the gazer's heart,

As if to him it could impart,

The doom he dreads, yet dwells upon :
Yes-but for these and these alone,
Some moments-ay-one treacherous hour,
He still might doubt the tyrant's power,
So fair-so calm-so softly sealed
The first-last look-by death revealed!
