EPITAPH,
on an Indian Chief,
Who expired at Pittsburgh, Dec. 2cth, 1802, on
his way to the Jeat up government, charg
ed with an important mission to the
Ft efident cf the U. States.
HERE the poor Chief, ol sage experience lies,
Far from his country and his wigwam dies ;
Yet infidels {for foch are many whites)
Refpett his virtues and his nation's 110 s;
Ernomb him near Ohio's rapid wave,
Where itrangtrs, pensive, h>rrow o'er his grave.
His gun and'haicbet clad in fables deep—
His bow and arrows—all betide him deep—
His beads and wompan—ill his little (lore,
Kepofe oblivious on the murm'ring shore !
Thus in the wrarior's uniform well dreft,
OI venison, tinder-box and Reel poflell,
He climbs on eagle's wings the serial space,
Assumes new vigor and a fwifter chace.
