Now he hath no coach to Hall him about so he taketh lonely walks in the Lane and each day he goeth down to the Brooks where he silently casteth his Bates into the cool waters. Neither boast nor Bragg doth he make and when Death cometh to claim his own, no Bell will toll his passing out, and no Coffin will bear his body to his last resting place.
