From the Gentleman's Magazine.
TO B----N F--------N, ESQ; OF PHILADELPHIA, ON HIS
EXPERIMENTS AND DISCOVERIES IN ELECTRICITY.
Let others must on sublunary things,
The rise of empires and the fall of Kings;
Thine is the praise, with bolder flight to soar,
And airy regions, yet untrack's explore;
. . . [67 lines]
In lonely woods she thus attempts to sing,
Where seldom muse before e'er tun'd a lay,
. . . [5 lines, signed] C.W.
Cooper-River, S. Carolina, Sept. 20, 1753.
