More from Albert Beveridge
No man ever bore public honors with so meek a dignity ...
These had power To charm through life and cheer his dying hour.
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.
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.
