DEATHS of BUONAPARTE. I
MIGHTY Gen'ral keen and hearty,
Skill'd in war's deftruftive ways,
Far fam'd hero, Buonaparte,
Wond'rous chief of modern daysl
Often kill'd, yet still exiting,
(What a paradox we find)
Some new project ever twilling
In thy mifchief brewing mind.
Thrice upon the briny ocean
War tremendous laid thee low ;
Qnce the Nile a deadly potion
O. Ithee furjous did beflow,
Tow'rds Grand Cairo fiercly bouncing ♦
Thou like Tantalus wert curft,
For chin deep in water flouncing
Thou didst die of raging tfiirft.
Mamelukes with Arabs ruling,
Hurl'd thee to the (hades of death ;
Then a hot wind fiercly go(hing
Stopp'd thy democratic breath.
Crocodiles thy valor braving
Fraterniz'd with defp'rate tug;
Fell hyenna's, loudly raving,
Kill'd thee with a civic hug.
O'er the burning deserts roving,
Where no grateful zephyr's play,
And no ftreamlets gently moving
Cheer the wearied traveler's way ;
Here to death thy fortune doom'd thee,
Where the vast tornadoes sweep ;
For a mount of sand entomb'd thee
Twenty thousand fathoms deep.
Then the whifker'd Turks purfu'd thee,
(Muffulmen referv'd and grim)
They relentless hack'd and hew'd thee,
Nicely carving limb from limb,
^Meagre famine next affail'd thee,
And anatomiz'd thy frame ;
Then the plague at Suez nail'd thee,
And repreird thy forward aim.
Next thy soldiers fierce revolting.
Will'd from toil to find release,
And thy forfeit life assaulting.
Sent thy head to buy a peace ;
Then a chieftain, lion-hearted,
Aim'd a pistol at thy head,
Thro' thy brain the bullet darted,
And thy aftive spirit fled.
Shot, drown'd, famish'd, eaten, Rifled,
Buffeted, repuls'd, annoy'd,
Interr'd alive, beheaded rifled, r
And by pestilence deftroy'd;
Due refpea to candor given,
This at lead we may descry,
That, howe'er thy course of lining,
Thou haft surely learn'd to die.
