MODERN CHARACTERS FROM VARIOUS AUTHORS.
Admiral Kempenfelt.
Oh! Had I fallen as my brave fathers fell,
Turning with fatal arm the tide of battle!
Like them, I should have smil'd and welcom'd death;
But thus to perish! cut off from Nature, and from
Glory's course, which never mortal was so fond
To run.
