Nansemond, August 19. On Tuesday, the 15th of June,
unfortunately was drowned Mr. Francis Russworm, of this
county, P.M. a man so universally distinguished for his
social virtues that every feeling heart must drop a tear,
and sigh at the name of Russworm.
[N.B. Report on 24 Jun 1773, noted he was a fiddler]
O Handel! Handel! could'st thou now but hear
Thy second self angelick sounds to clear;
Wrapt in what harmony! by what muse inspir'd!
To thrill the soul with admiration fir'd.
