ON THE MARRIAGE OF THE REV'D MR. CUMMING TO MRS. DUBOIS.
[4 line Latin poem]
Though long extinguish'd the poetic fire,
The muse abandon'd, and untun'd the lyre;
To friendship due, the grateful song to pay
(For sacred friendship claims the spousal lay)
Once more I strike the long-neglected string,
And of soft wedlock's silken bondage sing.
