ELEGY TO THE MEMORY OF MR. GodFREY. 1763.
O Death! Thou victor of the human frame!
The soul's poor fabric trembles at thy name!
How long shall man be urg'd to dread thy sway,
For those whom thou untimely tak'st away?
. . . [40 more lines]
Who heard thee sing, but felt sweet music's dart
In thrilling transports pierce his captiv'd heart?
Whether soft melting airs attun'd thy song,
Or pleas'd to pour the thund'ring verse along;
. . . [18 more lines]
'Til the last trump shall burst the womb of night,
And the purg'd atoms to their soul unite!
. . . [Signed:] E.
