Citation | PC.772.060 29 Jun-6 Jul 1772:991 (286) [Two elegies for Nelly Montgomery] [1] Mature for Heaven, the fatal mandate came; With it, a chariot of etherial flame, In which, Elijah like, she past the spheres, Brought joy to heaven, but left the world in tears. [2] There shall her grave with rising flowers be dress'd, And the green turf lie lightly on her breast, While Angels with their silver wings o'ershade The ground, now sacred by her reliques made. |
