Last night died here in the 54th year of her age, Mrs. Sarah
Forbes, the virtuous consort of Capt. James Forbes of this
town. . .
"Tis o'er at length the conflict's o'er,
Sad sorrow [   ] my soul no more;
No more my plaintive weeping eye,
My deep-fetch'd supple caring sigh,
. . . [12 lines]
The night's festivity I'll sing,
This better suits my jarring string,
. . . [14 more lines] [signed]  Fond Damon.
