ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF DAVID BARBER, 
of Groton, who was murdered by a party of Tories at the
Sawpits, on the 25th of Dec. last.
By J. H. a lad between 14 and 15 years of age.
  Descend Melpommene, sweet heavenly muse,
  Thy kind indulgence, on my verse, diffuse:
  No more, let fancy whirl in wanton play;
  Slow be my verse, and gloomy the day.
