[Verses written "by a friend of mine, in an obscure
hibernian vale, in the 18th year of his age, on his reading
the public account of the death of that gallant young hero.
[General Wolfe.]"
[signed] H.
Rise, Britons rise, revenge the hero's fall, 
Great Wolfe to Britain does for vengeance call!
The hero's gone-- O Britain see, 
The pallid ghost looks up to thee!
. . . [30 lines follow]
[signed] G. R.
