The following elegy is said to be the performance of a young
gentleman belonging to this town . . . From the New-
Hampshire Gazette, Feb. 5.
AN ELEGY.  By a young lad of twelve years of age.
Ye yews and elms with verdant shade protect,
The mournful mansions of this dreary tomb,
And may your dismal, gloomy shade effect,
That men may call to mind their last hours doom.
