Poet Analysis

First Line: DISTURB NOT - THOU WILT FIND HIM UNFORGIVING
Last Line: BUT NOT THE VENGEANCE OF THE IMPLACABLE DEAD.

DISTURB not -- thou wilt find him unforgiving --
The great and famed, in his sepulchral bed
Thou mayst out-tire the malice of the living,
But not the vengeance of the implacable dead.
