I saw successive tyrannies expire.
'Scaped from the ravage of the Turk and Goth,
Thy country sends a spoiler worse than both.
Survey this vacant, violated fane;
Recount the relics torn that yet remain
[...]
The insulted wall sustains his hated name.
For Elgin's fame thus grateful Pallas pleads,
Below, his name—above, behold his deeds!
- Near this Spot
- are deposited the Remains of one
- who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
- Strength without Insolence,
- Courage without Ferosity,
- and all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.
- This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery
- if inscribed over human Ashes,
- is but a just tribute to the Memory of
- BOATSWAIN, a DOG,
- who was born in Newfoundland May 1803,
- and died at Newstead Nov.r 18th, 1808.
