He died! his death made no great stir on earth:

His burial made some pomp; there was profusion

Of velvet—gilding—brass—and no great dearth

Of aught but tears—save those shed by collusion:

For these things may be bought at their true worth;

Of elegy there was the due infusion—

Bought also; and the torches, cloaks and banners,

Heralds, and relics of old Gothic manners,[505]
