Citation | NHG-P.765.037 19 Jul 1765:31 (458) Written Extempore, ON HEARING OF THE DEATH OF OXENBRIDGE THACHER, ESQ; on a supposed View of the Corps. Once warm with zeal in honest virtue's cause, That tongue spoke free, and wielded Britain's laws; With equal eloquence, unwarp'd, display'd, For wealth or poverty, it's pow'rful aid; Alike to him, worth could it's charm impart, In King, or beggar, touch'd his gen'rous heart. . . .
