Or mourn that bosom chill'd, | Whose latest throub compassion's dictates fill'd. | Then for lamented LOVETT drop a tear, | Arrested in his transient bright career. | But bow submissive in that heavenly power, | Who will'd to pluck the bright consummate flower, | Again to flourish in immortal bloom | Rising resplendent from its watery tomb.
