AN ORIGINAL ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF BRIGADIER GENERAL HUGH
MERCER, OF VIRGINIA, SLAIN IN THE ACTION NEAR PrinceTON,
JANUARY 3, 1777, GLORIOUSLY FIGHTING THE CAUSE OF HEAVEN AND
MANKIND.
Another patriot claims the votive strain, 
Fresh laurels spring around the honor'd herse;
Lamented Mercer erst in battle slain, 
Be thine the off'ring of my artless verse.
