27 May 1751:11,12 (214)
Last Thursday arrived here, Capt. Richards, from London, by
whom we have the following advices from the publick prints
viz.
On the much lamented death of his Royal Highness Frederick
Prince of Wales, Who departed this life at Leicester House
on Wednesday the 20th of March 1750-1. in the forty fifth
year of his age.
Mourn, Britains mourn, sad scenes of grief appear
The Prince of Wales is gone we lov'd so dear,
Oh! most unhappy and most cruel fate,
Who would not grant his life a longer date,
. . . [1 1/4 column more, plus epitaph]
