And happier they their happiness knew,
Whose tapers yet burn through the night of time
In which suns perished: others more sublime,
Struck by the envious wrath of man or God,
Have sunk, extinct in their refulgent prime;
And some yet live, treading the thorny road,
Which leads through toil and hate, to Fame's serene abode.
