Religion claim'd thee for her meekest son , Instilled her prece ^ ts ^ and her doctrines pure , Though affluent , taught tbee ev ' ry ' vtee to shun , Thy wealth not on thyself bestow , but on the poor . Wbfit nura rou 3 blessings , the distress ed Ihou ' st giv * h ; : ^ What human woes have been assuaged by thee ! A recompcnce awaits thy soul in heav * n j And shines thy crown to all eternity !
Ye ! whom the world calls great , mark well his end ; Heroes or statesmen ! can your deeds compare With Sharp I so long of all mankind the friend ; Or can you hope a bliss like bis to share ?
A bliss like his you'll share if faithful found , Nobly pursuing the high road he trod ; Elijah ' s mantle never reach'd the ground . Caught by Elisha , from Elijah ' s God .
Meek , venerable sage ! a long farewell ! Some monumental stone thy deeds may bear , j There pensive Genius shall delight to dwell , * * i And mingle with thy honor ed dust , a tear . -
