Whate'er of earth is form'd, to earth returns,

Of man alone, that particle divine,
Escapes the wreck of worlds, when all things fail.

Additional quotes by William Somervile

Prostrate on earth the bleeding warrior lies,
And Isr'el's beauty on the mountains dies. How are the mighty fallen!
Hush'd be my sorrow, gently fall my tears,
Lest my sad tale should reach the alien's ears:
Bid Fame be dumb, and tremble to proclaim
In heathen Gath, or Ascalon, our shame
Lest proud Philistia, lest our haughty foe,
With impious scorn insult our solemn woe.
