      Q& SHE KIN& ' S ILLNESS Rest , rest afflicted spirit , quickly pass Thy hoar of bitter s * ifteririg ! Rest awaits thee . There , where , the load of weary life laid down . The peasant $ nd the kmg repoae together .

      There peaceful sleep , thy quiet grave bedewed With tears of those who loved thee—^ -Nat for th ^ s , In the dark chambers of the nether world s Shall spectre kings rise from their burning throng And point the vacant sent , and scoffing s ^ y 4 Art thou become like us ?* Oh not for thee :
