الصفحة 127 - Tolls for the dead, there's nothing left of all That decks the scutcheon and the velvet pall Save this. The coronet is empty show : The strength and loveliness are hid below : The shifting wealth to others hath accrued : And learning cheers not the grave's solitude : What's DONE, is what remains ! Ah, blessed they Who leave completed tasks of love to stay And answer mutely for them, being dead, Life was not purposeless, though Life be fled.
الصفحة 41 - Roxbury, where he died in 1842. He was president of the Massachusetts Medical Society and universally respected. Dr. Luther V. Bell, one of the greatest of his successors, uses these words in speaking of him : — " Entering on his duties with no similar undertaking for an example to guide him, the weight of difficulty and responsibility which necessarily fell upon him must have been far greater than any of his successors in such trusts, who have had the aids of his ingenuity and labors, can have...
