I watched on Cam the oarsmen's strife, I shared in royal Henry's hall The scholars' feast ; but most of all I loved to see thy vigorous life, Thy gracious-sounding speech to hear, To muses of thy native land, Nor less to that harmonious band Which haunts Pieria's mountains, dear; Skilled, too, the critic's craft to ply And now the untimely stroke of doom Has fallen, and in Headlam's tomb A thousand hopes of Hellas lie.
Bitter in truth to all, to me
Who loved so well, and knew so late, More bitter, came our scholar's fate : Yet, haply, in the years to be
Lighting on some melodious strain He sang, shall ear and eye rejoice Again to hear the silent voice, To see the vanished form again.
