    The stars shine through his cypress-trees
    Who, hopeless, lays his dead away,
    Nor looks to see the breaking day
    Across the mournful marbles play!

On horror's head horrors accumulate;
Do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amazed;
For nothing canst thou to damnation add
Greater than that.
