By fatal instinct fly; where on the pool
They sportive wheel, or, sailing down the stream,
Are snatched immediate by the quick-eyed trout
Or darting salmon.”

In that sweet sleep no power can ever banish,
That one best sleep which never wakes again.”

Amidst the soundless solitudes immense
Of ranged mansions dark and still as tombs.”
