By another hand. Doctor Mayhew was a great divine, an
excellent preacher, and one of the greatest polemical
writers this or any other country has seen. . . [24 lines]
Ah Mayhew! art thou then for ever gone?
No. I've oft seen the greatly falling sun
Leave the blue arch, and threaten endless night:
Yet rise again, and bless a world with light.
Thus in thy works shalt thou revealing shine,
And prove the hand that form'd them was divine;
'Till that great day when night shall be no more,
And tyrants cease to persecute the poor:
When none shall dread the bigots scourging rods
But ev'ry upright heart rejoice in God.
