"But in some canine Paradise Your wraith, I know, rebukes the moon, And quarters every plain and hill, Seeking its master. * * * As for me This prayer at least the gods fulfill; That when I pass the flood and see Old Charon by Stygian coast Take toll of all the shades who land, Your little, faithful barking ghost May leap to lick my phantom hand."
