So live , that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan , that moves To the pale realms of shade , where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death , Thou go not , like the quarry slave at
night , Scourged to his dungeon ; but , sustain'd and sooih'd By an unfaltering trust , approach thy grave , Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him , and lies down to pleasant dreams . "
