[In honor of Reverend Mr. George Whitefield)
When in his country's cause, the warriour bleeds,
The grateful muse records his mighty deeds;
Or when the patriot, yeilds his latest breath,
The sorrowing crowds, in groans lament his death:
Shall then the gospel preacher, die unsung, 
. . . [3 more lines]
His fame, his virtues, shall my song employ--
The clergy's honour and the church's joy.
. . . [116 more lines]
