XXXVI.

Whate'er might be his worthlessness or worth,

Poor fellow! he had many things to wound him.

Let's own—since it can do no good on earth—[H]It was a trying moment that which found him

Standing alone beside his desolate hearth,

Where all his household gods lay shivered round him:[39]No choice was left his feelings or his pride,

Save Death or Doctors' Commons—so he died.[I]
