Written Extempore,
ON HEARING OF THE DEATH OF OXENBRIDGE THACHER, ESQ; on a
supposed View of the Corps.
  Once warm with zeal in honest virtue's cause,
  That tongue spoke free, and wielded Britain's laws;
  With equal eloquence, unwarp'd, display'd,
  For wealth or poverty, it's pow'rful aid;
  Alike to him, worth could it's charm impart,
  In King, or beggar, touch'd his gen'rous heart.
. . . [8 lines, signed]  S. Y.
