From the Pennsylvania Packet.
AN ELEGY TO THE AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS, WHO FELL IN THE
ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE MASSACHUSETTS-BAY MILITIA, AND THE
BRITISH TROOPS, APRIL 19, 1775.
Let joy be dumb, let mirth's gay carol cease, 
See plaintive sorrow comes bedew'd with tears, 
With mournful steps retires the cherub peace, 
And horrid war with all his train appears.
