Unwearying in his desire. His duties fitly to discharge, He thus was able to acquire, The honour of the land at large. 67 His watchwords, " Thoroughness ! " and " Art ! " Inspired him with unceasing zest ; And, whatsoever was his part, He always gave the world his best. His aim was high, and he can claim. Now that his long Ufe-fight is o'er. That he has left the actor's name More honoured than it was of yore. But he is gone ! True to his trust Right to the end his part he played, Till, sorely w...ounded by Death's thrust. His exit finally he made ; And we, lamenting him whose loss Two nations has o'erwhelmed in gloom, Bring of white immortelles a cross To place on Henry Irving's tomb. Truth. 68 Isidore G. Ascher, B. C. L. Time shrivels life, like winds that smite the leaves, And change and death, like vultures, seize and prey Upon the petty lives of every day ; The callous world jogs on and no one grieves. But ages keep what inspiration weaves. And fervid souls who vitalize hfe's play Of care and grief and passion and love's sway, Exalt what genius wakens and achieves !
