ON THE DEATH OF THE MUCH LAMENTED GENERAL WOLFE
Thy merits, Wolfe, transcend all human praise, 
The breathing marble, or the muse's lays.
Art is but vain, the force of language weak, 
To paint thy virtues, or thy actions speak.
. . . [28 lines]
With joyful song conduct their welcome guest, 
To the bright mansions of eternal rest.
