- 1849, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, In Memoriam A.H.H.:
- And he, shall he,
Man, her last work, who seem’d so fair, […]
Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation’s final law—
Tho’ Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek’d against his creed—

Who battled for the True, the Just,
Be blown about the desert dust,
Or seal’d within the iron hills?
- And he, shall he,
