The following Lines (wrote by a Youth Aer. 16.) were
designed for the Consolation of the late Rev. Dr. Mayhew's
Spouse.
Whilst I attempt in fun'ral verse
Great Mayhew's virtues to reherse
Assist me, O Uranus! send your lays
That I with you may celebrate his praise.
. . . [10 more lines]
He always made the widow's heart rejoice,
And caus'd the fatherless to lift their voice
And sing......... Lord! on him send
Those heavenly blessings which may never end.
. . . [10 more lines]
He's gone 'tis true, but to that glorious place
Where joys forever dwell, and sorrows cease.
Methinks! I see him with th' angelic choir
Chanting the praises of his heav'nly sire;
Participating of those heav'nly sweets
Which Christ obtained by his bloody sweats.
