[Elegy on death of Alexander Scammell]
What tho' no friend could ward thine early fall,
Nor guardian angel turn the treach'rous ball,
Blest shade be sooth'd, thy virtues all are known,
Thy fame shall last beyond this mould'ring stone,
Which conqu'ring armies from their toil return'd
Rear'd to thy glory, while thy fate they mourn'd.
