[14 lines introduction]
A seraph shot across the plain,
The lucid form display'd,
The starry round, which Winthrop trod,
And cry'd! Great Winthrop's dead.
. . . [18 verses]
The musick of the spheres resounds,
And hastens the delay;
A cherub lowers his golden wings,
And wafts him on his way.
. . . [10 more verses]
