    To his tuned spirit the wild heather-bells
    Ring Sabbath knells;
    The sod's a cushion for his pious want,
    And, consecrated by the heaven within it,
    The sky-blue pool a font.

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard.
It seems to me most strange that men should fear,
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.
