GELERT

Tested and staunch through many a changing year,

Gelert, his master's faithful hound, lies here.

Humble in friendship, but in service proud,

He gave to man whate'er his lot allowed;

And, rich in love, on each well-trusted friend

Spent all his wealth and still had more to spend.

Now, reft beyond the unfriendly Stygian tide,

For these he yearns and has no wish beside.
