From the New-York Gazette, October 29.
TO THE HONOUR OF THE REVEREND MR. GEORGE WHITEFIELD, one of
the most extraordinary men, that this or any other age has
produced,--a person of singular endowments, and the most
exalted piety, . . . [44 lines]
When in his country's cause, the warriour bleeds,
The greatful muse records his mighty deeds;
Or when the patriot, yields his latest breath,
The sorrowing crowds, in groans lament his death
Shall then the gospel preacher, die unsung,
To whom superior worth and praise belong?
. . . [58 lines, 62 lines]
