On the Death of his Excellency General Montgomery.
"Death, ere thou hast kill'd another
"Brave, and wise and good as he!
"Time shall throw a dart at thee."  Spen.
What mean those tears, that thus effusive flow?
Why throbs each breast with agonizing woe?
Montgomery's dead!--a name by all rever'd?
By patriots lov'd--by dastard tyrants fear'd.
