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.
No! but snatched from time, To bloom afresh in yonder sphere sublime.
No man ever bore public honors with so meek a dignity ...
There was about him so little of 'the insolence of office,' and so much of the benignity of the man, that his presence always produced ... the most delightful impressions.
