[Verses composed by a youth on the death of General
Montgomery.]
What mean those tears, that thus effusive flow!
Why throbs each breast with agonizing woe?
Montgomery's dead! - a name by all rever'd;
By patriots lov'd - by dastard tyrants fear'd
. . . [10 lines]
No more, to war, the drum or fife shall raise
That head, encircled with immortal bays!
. . .  [14 more lines]
