No man ever bore public honors with so meek a dignity ...
To Marshall reared--the great, the good, the wise; Born for all ages, honored in all skies; His was the fame to mortals rarely given, Begun on earth, but fixed in aim on heaven.
These had power To charm through life and cheer his dying hour.
