In whom a race, for courage fam'd and art,
End in the milder merit of the heart;
And chiefs or sages long to Britain givin,
Pays the last tribute of a saint to Heav'n.

FOR ONE
WHO WOULD NOT BE BURIED IN WESTMINSTER

ABBEY.
Heroes and kings ! your distance keep;
In peace let one poor poet sleep,
Who never flatter'd folks like you:
Let Horace blush, and Virgil too.

ANOTHER ON THE SAME,

UNDER this marble, or under this sill,
Or under this torf, or e'en what they will;
Whatever an heir, or a friend in his stead, i
Or any good creature shall lay o'er my head,
Lies one who ne'er card, and still cares not, a pin
What they said, or may say, of the mortal within;
But who, living and dying, serene still and free,
Trusts in God that as well as he was he shall be.
