n lay me with the humblest dead,[ew]
And, save the cross above my head,
Be neither name nor emblem spread,
By prying stranger to be read,
Or stay the passing pilgrim's tread."[123]

He passed--nor of his name and race
He left a token or a trace, 1330
Save what the Father must not say
Who shrived him on his dying day:
This broken tale was all we knew[ex]
Of her he loved, or him he slew.

FOOTNOTES:

[55] {85} A tomb above the rocks on the promontory, by some supposed the
sepulchre of Themistocles.

["There are," says Cumberland, in his _Observer_, "a few lines by Plato
upon the tomb of Themistocles, which have a turn of elegant and pathetic
simplicity in them, that deserves a better translation than I can give--

"'By the sea's margin, on the watery strand,
Thy monument, Themistocles, shall stand:
By this directed to thy native shore,
The merchant shall convey his freighted store;
And when our fleets are summoned to the fight
Athens shall conquer with thy tomb in sight.'"

Note to Edition 1832.

The traditional site of the tomb of Themistocles, "a rock-hewn grave on
the very margin of the sea generally covered with water," adjoins the
lighthouse, which stands on the westernmost promontory of the Piraeus,
some three quarters of a mile from the entrance to the harbour.
Plutarch, in his _Themistocles_ (cap. xxxii.), is at pains to describe
the exact site of the "altar-like tomb," and quotes the passage from
Plato (the comic poet, B.C. 428-389) which Cumberland paraphrases. Byron
and Hobhouse "made the complete circuit of the peninsula of Munychia,"
January 18, 1810.--_Travels in Albania_, 1858, i. 317, 318.]

_Fair clime! where_ ceaseless summer _smiles_
_Benignant o'er those blessed isles_,
_Which seen from far Colonna's height_,
_Make glad the heart that hails the sight_,
_And lend to loneliness delight_.
_There_ shine the bright abodes ye seek,
Like dimples upon Occan's cheek,
So smiling round the waters lave
_These Edens of the Eastern wave_.
Or _if, at times, the transient breeze_
_Break the_ smooth _crystal of the seas_,
_Or_ brush _one blossom from the trees_,
_How_ grateful _is each gentle air_
_That wakes and wafts the_ fragrance _there_.--[MS.]
