ODE TO THE MERCURY PACKET-BOAT; occasioned by the
embarkation of his Excellency Governor Tyron for England.
I.
Whilst all with duteous zeal contend,
To hail their own and country's friend,
  Ere yet he tempts the sea;
A muse, unskill'd in courtly phrase,
Begs but to tune her homely lays.
  O Mercury, to Thee.
. . . [12 more verses of 6 lines each]  King's-College, New-
York, April 6, 1774.
