An Ode, occasioned by the death of Samuel Johnson, D.D.
formerly President of King's College, New-York.
Adieu ye fairy sports of fancy's train,
That wont to steal my pliant soul from care;
Or wing'd its flight from scenes of sickning pain
To magic pleasures, ever young and fair!
. . . [32 more lines]
Glory, whose trumpet high and loud
Sounds for the insolent and proud,
. . . [56 more lines]
Death took thy willing hand, and like a friend
Gently remov'd thee smiling, from the stage.
. . . [30 more lines, signed] King's College, Jan. 29, 1772.
