nd felt his € C ruling passion strong in death . ' * Lamented Wakefield ! such thy weUearn'd praise , ffaojui dear companion of my fairest days , To whose rich bounteous mind I grateful owe 'What kings nor ravage nor can e ' er bestow . * Thine too , yet spar'd to friendship , honour d Sage , And yet , for us , may heav ' n prolong
thy age , To mark thee , Undsey , calmly -wait thy rest , And emulate a life whose end is blest . dfLnd see , the langotirs of thy couch to soothe , An ardent throng approach the fane of truth
Devout before the eternal altar bend With various gifts to serve one purpos'd end % Her $ boimdless reign , decreed ere nature ' s birth , For which lier sire now shakes the trembling earth . Thou at whose pleasure the proud monarch reigns , Who nerves the victor or his wrath
restrains ; Whose word can bid the storm of nature cease And hush ambition ' s wilder storm to peace ; O bring the halcyon days described of old , By saints desir * d , by holy seers foretold , When peace and righteousness in one embrace :
Shall join , howe ' er dispers ed , the human race , Truth seek each continent ' s remotest bound , And farthest isles repeat the joyful soun < d ; Beyond the scanty world the Grecian knew
Where Rome ^ rapacious eagles never flew , jSTor conquering Gallia rolled Iier sanguine tide ; Nor sea-girt Britain furl' -d her naval pride , There justice walk wkh mercy in her
train 'Beneath thy son Messiah ' s equal reign . J . T . R .
