Shelley's adonis in whom the fire of life <br />Twas just a dying flame <br />A dropp of blood in candle light ensuring <br />Mystique enshrined your name <br />The glow of youth betray'd you <br />Like Bruce and White heaven bade <br />To gift the world in rhymes of beauty <br />Ere the scourge of poets to early a memory made. <br />Oh fervent lover of Chapman's Homer <br />Now in the heavenly realm of gold <br />To brief thy spirit burn'd in thee <br />Yet what power your poetice words still hold<br /><br />John A.
