To the Memory of Lieutenant Peter Mercier, Esq; who fell in
the late battle near Ohio River, in Virginia, July 3, 1754.
  Too fond of what the martial harvests yield;
  Alas! too forward in the dang'rous field;
  Firm and undaunted resolute and brave;
  Careless a life invaluable to save;
  . . . [34 more lines, signed]
