Death is the Common Right
Of Toads and Men --
Of Earl and Midge
The privilege --
Why swagger, then?

And hungry and must graze
And so abets the shining Fleet
Till it is out of gaze.

And Anguish -- absolute --
And many hurt,
But, what of that?

And that, so least displays --
One Art to recognize, must be,
Another Art, to praise.
