Elegiac lines, occasioned by the death of Captain Treat, of
the American artillery, who unfortunately fell in an attack
on Fort Mifflin, by a cannon shot from the enemy, November
1777.
And has from earth the youthfull warrior flown,
Forever soar'd beyond our weeping view,
To mix with spirits kindred to his own,
And join in heav'n the bravely virtuous few ?
