EPITAPH ok BUCKLAND , Pro / essor of Mineralogy and Geology , at the University of Oxford . [ From a Correspondent , who sends it , we presume , as a copy , but without saying whence it is taken . ] I . Mourn , Ammonites , mourn o ' er his funeral urn , Whose neck ye must grace no more , Gneiss , Granite and Slate , he settled your date , And his ye must now deplore . Weep , caverns , weep , with filtering drip , Your recesses he'll cease to explore , For mineral veins and organic remains No stratum again will he bore .
II . Oh ! his wit shone like crystal ! his knowledge profound From gravel to granite descended ; No trap could deceive him , no slip could confound , Nor specimens true or pretended ; He knew the birth-rock of each pebble so round , And how far its tour had extended .
W , IIL His eloquence roll'd like the deluge retiring , Which Mastodon carcases floated ; * o a subject obscure he gave charms so inspiring , voung and old on Geology doated ; He stood forth like . an ont-lier , his hearers admiring in pencil each anecdote noted .
IV . Where shall we our great Professor inter , That in peace may rest his bones ? If we hew him a rocky sepulchre He'll rise and break the stones , And examine each stratum that lies around , For he ' s quite in his element underground . V . If with mattock and spade his body we lay In the common alluvial soil , He'll start up and snatch those tools
away Of his own Geological toil ! In a stratum so young the Professor disdains That embedded should be his organic remains .
VI . Then exposed to the drip of some casehard ' ning spring His carcase let stalactite cover , And to Oxford the petrified sage let us
bring When he is incrusted all over , There , ' mid mammoths and crocodiles , high on a shelf , Let him stand as a monument raised to himself .
