vulgarly appraises
The Good, the Beautiful, the True
In literary phrases:

He did his estimate express
In terms precise and weighty,--
And Vice got 25 (or less,)
While Virtue rose to 80.

Now hath he closed his earthly lot
All in his final haven,--
(And be the stone that marks the spot
_On one side only_ graven,)

Bring papers on his grave to strew
Amid the grass and clover,
And plant thereby that pencil blue
Wherewith he looked them over!

There, freed from every human ill
And fleshly trammels gross, he
Lies in his resting-place until
The final Viva Voce:

So let him rest till crack of doom
Of mortal tasks aweary,--
And nothing write upon his tomb
Save [Greek text: beta]--(?).

THE END
