Though everybody knows the line--

"After life's fitful fever he sleeps well"--

I think Campbell might have acknowledged his adoption of the words by

marking them, and might have improved his own lines (with all deference be

"Hast thou felt, poor self-deceiver!

_Thy_ career so void of pain,

As to wish 'life's fitful fever'

New begun again?"
