  He was a boy of April beauty; one Who had not tried the world; who, while the sun Flamed yet upon the eastern sky, was done. Time would have brought him in her patient ways— So his young beauty spoke—to prosperous days, To fulness of authority and praise. He would not wait so long. A boy, he spent His boy’s dear life for England. Be content: No honour of age had been more excellent. |
