From the London General Evening Post.
ON THE TAKING OF MONTREAL BY GENERAL AMHERST.
An humble muse, unus'd to rude alarms,
Not train'd to war, unskill'd in feats of arms,
That knows no loftier strains than those which flow
From honest joy or sympathetic woe,
. . . [2 lines]
Now wakes the lyre, and tunes her artless lays,
To sing Britannia's fame, and Amherst's praise;
. . . [69 lines, with additional mentions of song in praise
of Wolfe and Amherst]
While cannons roar, and warlike instruments sound,
. . . [2 more lines]
