, parasite, and biog- John Keats in Rome 183 rapher, was, at his especial and most charac-teristic request, laid beside Shelleys tomb. There had been some talk of Keatsswintering with the Shelleys at Pisa, and,after the project was given up, Shelleyhad still the kindly intention to be thephysician both of his body and of hissoul—to keep the one warm, and to teachthe other Greek and Spanish. Violets spread a purple pall over Shel-leys heart; rose-thickets, full of burstingbuds, cast wavering shadows upon the Cor Cordiuni of his memorial-stone. It is enough to make one in love withdeath to think of sleeping in so sweet aspot,—he had said, with no prevision ofwhat we are looking upon, now. The weariness, the fever and the fret,Here, where men sit and hear each other groan,Where palsy shakes a few sad, last gray hairs,Where youth grows pale and spectre-dim, anddies— —are over, and forever, for them both,thank God ! and in the world that setsthis right. Keatss Ode to a Nightingale.
