The following elegiac lines were occasioned by the death of
the hon. Brigadier-General Francis Nash, of North-Carolina,
. . . [10 lines, who died at Germantown.]
  Genius of freedom! Whither art thou fled?
  While fields of death thy sons undaunted tread:
  Lo! where for thee thy brightest heroes fall, 
  And not thy shield to ward the winged ball.
