50.

Poet whose large-eyed loyalty of love
  Was pure toward all high poets, all their kind
And all bright words and all sweet works thereof;
  Strong like the sun, and like the sunlight kind;
Heart that no fear but every grief might move
  Wherewith men’s hearts were bound of powers that bind;
The purest soul that ever proof could prove
  From taint of tortuous or of envious mind;
      Whose eyes elate and clear
      Nor shame nor ever fear
  But only pity or glorious wrath could blind;
      Name set for love apart,
      Held lifelong in my heart,
  Face like a father’s toward my face inclined;
    No gilts like thine are mine to give,
Who by thine own words only bid thee hail, and live.

[1] Thy lifelong works, Napoleon, who shall write? 
    Time, in his children’s blood who takes delight.

From the Greek of Landor.
