Who have watched his mould of man, big-boned and hardy-handsome,
Pining, pining, till time when reason rambled in it and some
Fatal four disorders, fleshed there, all contended?”

As one or two that I have seen elsewhere:
An apparatus not for me to mend—
A wreck, with hell between him and the end.”
