VIRTUE.
W HAT though beneath a humble rnof,
I live*—and die—unknown to fame i
From fpires and cities Tar aloof,
And great ones ne'er pronounce my name !
Though roon beside i‘nme lonely heath,
I’m lodged 'mong undifiinguilh'd dead,
With not a friend to weep my death,
Nor place p marble at my head 1.
Vet Virtue, thou (halt make :ne bleft—•
Thy hand 1 haII leac, thy arm fufiain :
And iif , with thee, Tail lack no reft,
And death, with thee, fhall give no pain !
