What a gloom will spread over the nation when he is gone!
No man ever bore public honors with so meek a dignity ...
No! but snatched from time, To bloom afresh in yonder sphere sublime.
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.
