    EPIGRAPH: As those we love decay, we die in part; String after string is severed from the heart, Till lengthened life, at last but breathing clay, Without one sigh is glad to fall away. Unhappy they, who latest meet the blow, Condemned to weep o'er many a Friend laid low; Led slowly on from partial death to death, Till dying, all, they can resign, is breath.
