Williamsburg, August 13.
L---N C---R'S LAMENTATION.
(upon vainly attempting to reply to Burke's answer to his
first crambe) versified.
. . . [Latin quote from Horace]
  O heavens! what means this torpor of my brain!
  Why toil I thus the miserable strain, 
  And wake the lonely lamp, and fleeting hours, 
  In vain attention to the tuneful powers?
. . . [24 lines, signed] D.C.
