He was a great man, both noble and kind.
A pleasure to meet someone so rich in mind.
He was so honest, sweet-natured, well-read.
Praise him well for now he is dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was alive, I was called a fool.
Jeered and mocked_______butt of ridicule.
For them, to hell________my works had led.
They praise me well, but now I am dead!!!!!!!!

Good Heavens! He was___ a great gift from God,
A blessing, a treat, aye_________they all nod.
Minds were feasted, through his works, souls fed.
Praise him well, for now he is dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Build me a tomb, a road, a Trust.
Call me a legend, immortalized under the dust.
My name revered________“idle tears” are shed.
Alas! They praise me for now I am dead!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed ‘tis an honor to have lived in his times.
A man, whose life along with books had rhyme.
O’ the irreparable loss_______Our Dearest Fred!
Praise him well for now he is dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!
