"If any could have died unwept in meeting such a fate, it must have been one that, in common, awakes so little of human sympathy; and one too, who, by dealing himself in the woes of others, has less claim to the compassion that we yield to most of our species." "Spare me in mercy, Adelheid, spare me thou speakest of my father!" Fortune had smil'd upon Guelberto's birth.
He never rose again. Perhaps, in her leeway, the frigate drifted over him and thus the violated laws of his country were avenged. But we get used to these things, in this best of all possible worlds; and if the poacher died unwept, unknelled, unprayed for, all that can be said of the matter is that many a better man has met with a worse fate. I do not get on with this life at all.
Of these, that which was most in vogue was the following: "Unwept, unburied, on this mountain high, Stranger, Thessalians thirty thousand lie; They fell before Ætolia's sons in war. And Romans, brought by Titus from afar. Æmathia weeps their loss. Bold Philip too, Flies like a deer, and knows not what to do."
Things were now more ship-shape, as Miss Greeby had died after making confession of her crime and had been duly buried by her shocked relatives. The ashes of Lord Garvington and Mother Cockleshell, recovered from the débris of the cottage, had also been disposed of with religious ceremonies, and Silver's broken body had been placed in an unwept grave.
Leger might have gone down to her ancestors "unwept, unhonoured, and unsung," if Isabel had not volunteered and enforced her attendance.
In reading the Poem immediately after it was written, the rasping force which Mr. C. gave to the following concluding lines was inimitable. "Is thy Burns dead? And shall he die unwept, and sink to earth, Without the meed of one melodious tear? Thy Burns, and nature's own beloved Bard, Who to 'the illustrious of his native land, So properly did look for patronage.
But they did not fall unhonoured or unwept. In the churches of the faithful in that same city, the sobs of mournful lamentation were mingled with the solemn prayers for their eternal rest, and, from thousands of wailing women and stricken-hearted men, the prayers for mercy, peace, and pardon, for the souls of MICHAEL O'BRIEN, WILLIAM PHILIP ALLEN, and MICHAEL LARKIN, rose upwards to the avenging God.
Hannibal, who filled three bushel measures with the gold rings of fallen knights, at last, by poison self-administered, died unwept in a foreign land. Caesar, who had practically the whole world at his feet, was stabbed to the heart by so-called friends, even Brutus being among them. Napoleon, the scourge and conqueror of Europe, died, a heart-broken exile, in St Helena.
See ante, iii. 71. 'Before great Agamemnon reign'd Reign'd kings as great as he, and brave Whose huge ambition's now contain'd In the small compass of a grave; In endless night they sleep, unwept, unknown, No bard had they to make all time their own. FRANCIS. Horace, Odes, iv. 9. 25.
"No band of friends or heirs be there, To weep or wish the coining blow: No maiden with dishevelled hair, To feel, or fein decorous woe. "But silent let me sink to earth. With no officious mourners near: I would not mar one hour of mirth, Nor startle friendship with a tear." He died among strangers, in a foreign land, without a kindred hand to close his eyes; yet he did not die unwept.
