"Now Cador’s corse he viewed, With hoary moss and faded leaves bestrewed; In days of old not yet did we invade The harmless tenants of the woodland shade. The crimson-breasted warbler o’er the slain, While frequent rose his melancholy strain, With pious care, ’twas all he could, supplied The funeral rites by ruthless man denied."
