Or burst the vanished Hero's lofty mound;

Far on the solitary shore he sleeps: [3.B.]

He fell, and falling nations mourned around;

But now not one of saddening thousands weeps,

Nor warlike worshipper his vigil keeps

Where demi-gods appeared, as records tell.[du] [116]

Remove yon skull from out the scattered heaps:

Is that a Temple where a God may dwell?

Why ev'n the Worm at last disdains her shattered cell!
