Verses continued from our last, by the students of King's
College; on the arrival of his Excellency William Tryon,
Esq; Governor of New-York.
While suppliant crouds in grateful zeal contend,
Their wishes pour, and hail their country's friend;
Humbly the muse her tribute too would bring,
Humbly brave Tryon's matchless virtues sing; [4 more lines]
Well pleas'd each bard shall wake the sounding lyre,
Each grateful tongue the glorious theme inspire;
Each gen'rous breast with ardent love shall glow,
And the high notes of joy in gen'ral chorus flow.
. . . [42 more lines, signed:] T. Barclay.
