TO THE MEMORY OF LIEUT. PETER MERCIER, ESQ; WHO FELL IN THE
LATE BATTLE NEAR OHIO RIVER IN VIRGINIA, JULY 3D, 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] M. W.
