By the United States in Congress assembled.
OCTOBER 11, 1787.
THE Committee to whom was referred a report of the Board of Treasury, and a motion of Mr. Kean, respecting the requisition for 1787, having reported, "That, from the several papers referred to them, it appears that there is wanting, for the services of the year 1787, the payment of one year's interest on the foreign debt, and such part of the principal as becomes due in the year 1788, and the payment of one year's interest on the domestic debt, the sum of 3,009,798. 64-90 dollars:
"That of the aforesaid sum, 1,309,391. 64-90, is absolutely necessary in specie—that there are considerable sums in specie due from the States, over and above those which are necessary to discharge the existing demands on former requisitions, which sums are nearly equal to the payment of that part of the present requisition that is absolutely necessary in specie; and the objects for which the said sums were called for no longer existing, they may be now appropriated to the purposes of the present requisition; that, in their opinion, many difficulties have arisen from the restrictions made in former requisitions, in issuing of the indents of interests; the making them receivable only for the year in which they were issued, and then only when accompanied by a certain proportion of specie; and declaring that, after a certain period, they should not be received from the States at the Federal Treasury; all which have served to check the exertions of the States, and to keep back the specie payment: nor have they had those beneficial effects expected from them, of stopping the issue of indents, where States had not passed legislative acts to call them in, or keeping up their value, and preventing depreciation; but on the contrary, have opened a new scene of speculation, in transferring the property of a citizen of a State, which has not passed a legislative act, to a citizen of a State which has. In addition to this the Committee observe, that the acts of Congress, empowering the Board of Treasury to contract for the sale of the western territory, also empowers them to issue indents of interest to the purchasers; so that, to continue such restrictions, would operate only to the injury of a few, and be no public benefit."
Resolved, That for the services of the year 1787, for the payment of one year's interest on the foreign debt, and such part of the principal as becomes due in the year 1788, and for the payment of one year's interest on the domestic debt, it will be necessary, that three millions and nine thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight sixty-four nine hundredths dollars, be paid into the Treasury of the United States, on or before the first day of July next; to be appropriated to the following purposes, viz.
  For the Civil Department, - 124,161. 85   Military Department, - 176,757. 17   Geographer's Department, - 9,964   Invalid Pensions, - 83,000   Contingencies, - 19,000   Foreign debt for the payment of interest on the French & Dutch Loans, and two instalments of principal on the French Loans, becoming due in 1788. 871,622. 87   Spanish Loan, 1 year's interest due thereon. 8,700   Debt due to Foreign Officers, 1 year's interest thereon, 11.185. 55 891,508. 52   Domestic Debt, 1 year's interest thereon, 1,700,407 
Making in the whole, dollars 3,009,798. 64 Resolved, That the sums called for in the years 1784, 1785 and 1786, and stated by the Board of Treasury not now to be necessary, the objects for which they were called for no longer existing, which sums amount to one million two hundred thousand dollars, be now appropriated to the payment of that part of the present requisition, which cannot be discharged but with specie; any thing in former requisitions to the contrary notwithstanding: and shall be applied in conformity with the several appropriations in the preceding part of this report, giving preference according to the order in which they are stated in the estimate.
Resolved, That one hundred and nine thousand three hundred and ninety-one dollars, sixty-four nine hundredths, in the hands of the Commissioners on loans in Holland, in aid of the above sum, be appropriated for the discharging the interest due on the foreign debt due in Holland, and to no other purpose whatever.
As 1,700,407 dollars called for, are to be applied to the payment of the interest due on the domestic debt of the United States.
Resolved, That the several States be allowed to discharge the same by indents for interest on Loan-office certificates, and upon other certificates of the liquidated debts of the United States, in such manner as they may think most expedient; and to ascertain the evidences of interest due on Loan-office certificates, the holders thereof respectively shall be at liberty to carry them to the office from which they issued; and the holders of other certificates of liquidated debts of the United States, to carry the same to the Loan-office of that State wherein they are inhabitants, or if foreigners, to any Loan-office within the United States, and to have the interest thereon settled and certified to the last day of the year 1786; any thing in the requisitions for the years 1784, 1785 and 1786, to the contrary notwithstanding.
Resolved, That the quotas of the several States of the aforesaid sum of 1,700,407 dollars in indents be as follows:
  New-Hampshire, 59,684   Massachusetts, 254,384   Rhode-Island, 36,558   Connecticut, 149,976   New-York, 145,555   New-Jersey, 94,372   Pennsylvania 232,616   Delaware, 25,506   Maryland, 160,340   Virginia, 290,770   North-Carolina, 123,450   South-Carolina, 108,996   Georgia, 18,194 
As 1,700,407 That the foregoing requisition, when paid, shall be passed to the credit of the States respectively, on the
terms prescribed by the resolve of Congress of the 6th day of October, 1779.
Resolved, That the Board of Treasury furnish the several Loan-officers with indents, to be issued for interest as aforesaid, and also with such checks and instructions as they from time to time shall judge necessary, to prevent counterfeit certificates of debts from obtaining a settlement of interest, and to detect counterfeit evidences of interest, and thereby to avoid receiving them in discharge of taxes; which indents of interest being parted with by the holders of the principal, shall be deemed evidence that he has received satisfaction for the same, and therefore shall be receivable from the bearer in lieu of money in any other State in the union, as well as in the State in which they were issued.
That the State paying such indents of interest into the Federal Treasury, shall have credit therefor, which payment shall be considered as a discharge of the interest on the domestic debt, in the proportion that each State avails itself of the said indents of interest; but no State shall have a right to pay more than its quota, as specified in the existing requisitions of Congress, in the said indents of interest.
Resolved, That the Board of Treasury be and they are hereby directed to transmit to each State an account of their respective arrears in specie and in indents, to state to them the impediments that the public service has suffered, and the accumulation of foreign and domestic embarrassments that have arisen from their delinquency—to press upon them the absolute necessity of their making payment of their arrears of specie, as it is the only fund on which Congress can rely, for the support of the Federal Government—and to remind those States who continue particularly delinquent, that they must be considered as responsible for all the evils which will inevitably flow from a disregard to the political obligations by which they are constitutionally bound.
Resolved, That such part of the requisitions of the years 1784, 1785 and 1786, as restricts the receipt at the public treasury of indents of interest without a certain proportion of specie—those parts which declare that after a certain day those States which have not paid their quotas shall be held to pay the same in specie—and such part as prevents the receiving of the indents issued in one year, in payment of taxes for another, be, and they are hereby repealed:—And it is hereby declared that the indents issued in 1784, 1785 and 1786, or under the present requisition, shall be indiscriminately received in payment of any State's quota of indents of interest.
FOREIGN ADVICES.
L O N D O N.
Though none, we believe, will think General Elliott's coroner misplaced, yet, as he was so well seconded in the glorious service for which he has received that mark of distinction, we cannot help observing, that, unless something more is done for the Lieutenant Governor, there will be too great an inequality in their rewards. What is a RED RIBBON for the services of Sir Robert Boyd? It has been so often bestowed on men who deserved rather a CORD that it has long ceased to be a test of merit. Something that would descend to posterity, ought certainly to be given; and it is the general opinion if nothing better can happen, that the two defenders of Gibraltar should be put on no worse footing than the two conquerors of de Graffe.
Some exertions have been made, and are now making, to encircle the African trade. The computation of the value of the goods imported into Europe from the coasts of Guinea, consisting of elephants teeth, gold, pepper, wax, drugs, spices, &c. is little short of four millions sterling, while the goods exported to Africa in return do not amount to more than 300,000. and they consist chiefly of coarse calicoes, cottons, lineus, woollen stuffs, ferges, knives, hatchets, nails, hammers, pewter plates and dishes, pots, kettles, fire arms and gunpowder, glass-beads, small looking glasses, and most kind of toys—The trade, upon the whole, when lots and gain is computed, is reckoned to produce full 120l. per cent.
The following account is extracted from a private letter, dated Paris, July 7: A decree of personal adjournment has been issued against Beaumarchais, in the affair of M. de Karmann. This the author of FIGARO has attempted, in his usual way, to turn into a mere frolicsome jest; but the Legislature seems to consider it as a very black joke. Orders for apprehending Daudet, the principal accomplice in this dark and unmanly transaction, were given at the same time; but he has been so lucky as to make his escape. Missing also, but whether taken up or fled is uncertain, another associate of the notorious B. namely M. le Noir, the quondam Lieutenant of the Police, who suddenly disappeared in the night of the 30th ult. And to crown the whole, M. de Calonne is likewise reported to have felt so much prudent concern at his present situation, that he has thought it expedient to take a French leave of his countrymen, who are so unmanly inquisitive, as to call him to an account for his late administration of the finances.
A father beating a son who had arrived at years of maturity, said 'Go! thou art no more my son!—Am I not?' said the young man, 'then your right of beating me ends, and my right of defending myself begins.'
It was the opinion of the late Lord Chatham, that the United Provinces were to this country a valuable out-work, and as such ought to be protected and defended by us as much as the out-work of a besieged town—If the States were once to become dependant on France, an adieu might be bid to the commerce, and probably to the independence of Great-Britain.
Orders of Privy Council have been just issued for the better regulation of vesselstrading to the United States of America.
HISTORY OF THE DUTCH.
The history of the Hollanders is curious. A few poor fishermen stole some scraps of ground from the sea, and by the help of a quantity of stiff clay made themselves a country. They asked and received the assistance of the European powers, who were jealous of the encroaching consequence of Spain, and happy in any pretence to check its progress. They became by this assistance a free people, assumed the founding title of High and Mighty, and were ap-
pointed carriers to the States, who had procured them independence. They extended their territories by treachery, declared themselves the first begotten sons of the ocean, and conceiving that the sea, which gave them the land, once overflowed by its waters, would not refuse them that by which it was compassed, covered it with pirates, and encroached upon the East and West-Indies, established a trade in Java, settled a commerce in Japan, and became the rivals of those kingdoms to whom they had been formerly porters. There was a time when this world devouring assembly sat in consultation over a terrestrial globe, and a sea chart, with each a pair of compasses in his hand, striding over latitude and longitude, making choice of the provinces of others; the Grand Pensionary at the head of the table, with a pair of scissors cutting out the world according to the fancy of this grave Divan. That these nautical animals should quarrel among themselves is very unfortunate, because they must decide their own business on dry land, which is not a Dutchman's element. If Linnaeus had classed the nations as he did the animals, he would have described the Dutch as a people with fins and web-feet. For them to have a land war, is as unnatural as it would be for two whales to decide a quarrel on Salisbury Plain, or two English bull dogs to fight in the Mediterranean.

RICHMOND, October 3.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman on board the ship Nancy Capt. Hammond, to a friend in this city, dated Sept. 3, in latitude 36. long. 72.
On the 10th of July last, we sailed from the Island of Jamaica, and next day sprang a leak; with difficulty our harassed crew and sinking ship reached the Havannah on the 4th of August; after many petitions and laying off the whole day, we were permitted to enter the harbor; here the ship had her leak stopped, and sailed from this port the 23d of the same month. Several gentlemen of character and distinction came on board the ship, when her leaks obliged her to take refuge in this port, where they experienced that urbanity from the Admiral Don Francisco de Morales, ten. which characterises the Castilian nation.
On Monday last, about a mile or two from town, a team of horses taking freight in a waggon, the driver in endeavouring to run before the horses to stop them, was run over and crushed to pieces.
PHILADELPHIA, October 13.
We are informed, that the insurgents of Tioga, have transmitted a memorial to the Executive Council, in which they state, that they were ignorant of the warrant that had issued for apprehending John Franklin, and that they are sincerely sorry for the rash measures which they pursued in consequence of that event. We are happy to hear likewise, that they have liberated Col. Pickering's family, and have offered to take the oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth, without soliciting any thing in favor of their leader. It is earnestly to be hoped, that such advantage will be taken of this disposition, as may effectually establish order and tranquility in the county of Luzerne.
Franklin behaves with great decorum in the gaol, and manifests a disposition to reconcile his friends at Tioga to the proceedings which have been instituted against him. Before the arrival of the memorial mentioned in the preceding article, he had offered through his Council, to send a letter to them for that purpose; and we presume that he now entertains no just a sense of his situation, as will induce him to endeavor to make every atonement in his power for the injuries he has done his country. The late repeal of that part of an act of Assembly, which empowered Council to direct offences to be tried out of the county where they were committed, will render it necessary to remove Franklin to Luzerne, in order to take his trial at the next sessions of Oyer and Terminer held in and for that county.
The following gentlemen were on Tuesday last elected representatives in General Assembly for the city of Philadelphia, the ensuing year, viz. William Will, Thomas Fitzsimons, George Clymer, Jacob Hiltzheimer, and William Lewis.
Yesterday forenoon, about 11 o'clock, a one horse cart, heavily laden with stone coal, passed slowly up Green-street, abreast of the late barracks lot, in the Northern liberties of this city, the driver behind and towards the other side, not seeing a child sitting in the cartway, one of the wheels of the cart passed over the child's body, and instantly killed it. The infant, a girl, was not two years old.

THOMAS BERRY, Esq; Chairman, and Judge of Election.
THE Constitution of the United States, as agreed upon by the Federal Convention at Philadelphia, was read; whereupon,

Resolved unanimously, That the representatives of this county in the General Assembly be, and they are hereby instructed to use their utmost endeavors to have a convention appointed for this State, without delay, agreeably to the recommendations of Congress, for the purpose of considering and ratifying said constitution.
By order of the Freemen and Voters present; THOMAS BERRY, Judge & Chairman.

On Friday evening, October 5th, the Old American Company of Comedians, under the direction of Messrs. Hallam and Henry, finished their Theatrical Exhibitions for this season in Baltimore, with the Comic Opera of the Duenna; or, the Double Eloperment, and the Comedy of the Guardian. They have performed there for some time past with great success, and are now preparing to leave Baltimore for Annapolis, where it is expected, they will stay a short time. The scenery, decorations, and various improvements, added to the decent and well-regulated deportment of this company, cannot fail of making them acceptable to the lovers of science and the drama, in every part of the Continent.
Advices received from Quebec inform, that a very large colony has been settled upon Beaver-island, which is situated on the north, i.e. the British side of Lake Ontario, with leave of the Gov. Gen. of British America, Lord Dorchester, where they have every prospect of carrying on a most extensive trade for furs, &c. with the Indian nations, who prefer a traffic nearer home than coming over the falls to Montreal or Quebec. Very large quantities of goods are preparing to be sent off from Quebec to the new settlers for trafficking with the Indians.
To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New-Jersey.
The petition of the Justices, and Freeholders of the county of Burlington,
Respectfully sheweth,
THAT they have read, and considered with attention, the Constitution for the United States of America, as proposed by the late Federal Convention; that the same appears to them well calculated to amend the defects of the former constitution, and to promote the lasting welfare and happiness of the union.
They therefore humbly request, that your honorable body, in conformity to the opinion of the said Convention, would recommend to the people of this State, immediately to choose delegates for a State Convention; in order to take into consideration the said Federal Constitution, and, if approved of, to ratify the same in behalf of the State of New-Jersey.
By order of the Board, JOSHUA M. WALLACE, Chairman. Burlington, 3d October, 1787. (Copy.)
At a meeting of the inhabitants of the county of Burlington, entitled to vote for representatives in the Council and General Assembly, held at Burlington, on Tuesday the 9th day of October, 1787.

By direction of the meeting, JOSHUA M. WALLACE, Judge of the election, for representatives, held said day. (Copy.)
In consequence of the miraculous preservation of the life of George Washington, Esq; in General Braddock's defeat, a dissenting clergyman in Virginia predicted, that God had preserved his life to be an eminent blessing to his country. This prophecy has been literally fulfilled. May not the providential preservation of the valuable life of this great and good man, on his way home from the Convention, be for the great and important purpose of establishing, by his name and future influence, a government, that will render safe and permanent the liberties of America, which he has acquired by his sword!
A crop of pumpkins raised at Jamaica, Long-Island, at the seat of Col. Joseph Robertson, of the most surprising size, and curiosity led him to weigh ten of the largest, which weighed 506 lb. the largest he weighed separate, which weighed 75, and measured 5 feet 7 inches circumference.
Extract of a letter from Tangiers, July 8. The English Consul General is returned within these eight days from the Moorish Court, and has agreed with his Moorish Majesty, that all that has passed shall be forgotten on both sides. The exorbitant duties on horned cattle exported from hence to Gibraltar, are lessened and reduced to the standard of former treaties. The English Consul has obtained permission to build a house, but has not been able to succeed in his purpose of establishing factories at Larache and Martin, the port of Tetuan. The good dispositions of the King of Morocco towards the English, have been bought at the following prices.
"Lift of presents made by the English Consul, to the Emperor of Morocco.
"First day's audience. Two very elegant gold watches, valued at 600l. sterling each. These his Majesty demanded, they are set with diamonds and emeralds, and are the same he presented Major Curtis with, in 1783. Five pieces of superfine cloth, making together 130 els: six pieces of fine cambric, a small carriage or chaise with a head—two boxes of liquors, containing each 20 bottles; one chest of tea and two of sugar.
"Second audience. Two pieces of superfine cloth, making together 180 els; two pots of porcelain, filled with confectionary.
"Third audience. An elegant gold watch, set in diamonds. It is much doubted here, whether the reconciliation between the court of London and that of Morocco, will be lasting."

The respectable corps of Artillery, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Bauman, will, we are informed, parade this afternoon, in honor of the 19th of October, 1781. — This day completes the term of six years since the Armies of AMERICA , in conjunction with the fleets and armies of our great and good Ally , obtained a most SIGNAL and DECISIVE VICTORY, by the surrender of near eight thousand hostile troops , commanded by a British Earl . From a Portsmouth Paper of October 2 .
It is with real pleasure we announce, that the report of the Federal Convention meets with the greatest approbation in this metropolis. All ranks are highly animated with the pleasing hope, that this glorious structure, supported by thirteen pillars, will speedily be completed. The patriots who have assisted in the above work, have deserved well of their country — their names shall brighten the annals of America, and their memory be forever revered, not as the lords and peers, but as the fathers of America .

Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Gad Wells, and others, Libellants.
vs. Sundry Goods, Wares and Merchandize , saved out of a vessel having no person on board, by John Shannon and others, and claimed by Gibbon Bourke, John Donnann and the said John Shannon and others, and claimed in part by Daniel M c Cormick for Hyem Cohen , and by William Cook for Richard Hall .
WHEREAS Charles March, Timothy Penny, Abraham P. Mendes, John Thompson, Matthew Fergo, John Howard, Gad Wells, Samuel Bells and Peter Noyes, junior , as passengers, and Malcom Taylor , and Henry Harris , as mariners, on board of the brigantine Port Roseway , have filed a libel in the said Court, setting forth that in and with the said brigantine, in a voyage from the island of Jamaica to New-London , in Connecticut , on or about the first day of August, in the year 1784, in the latitude of 23 degrees and 50 minutes north, or thereabouts, they discovered and went to a vessel with only her forecraft standing, and having no living creature on board, and five feet water in her hold; and that they saved and took out of the said brigantine, sundry goods, wares and merchandise, which were by them brought to the port of New-York , and there sold at public vendue, by order of Gibbon Bourke and John Donnann , of the said city, merchants: And whereas it appears by return of sales of Anthony L. Bleeker , that the said merchandise so saved and brought to the port of New-York , consisted of the following articles, viz. Six hogheads of sugar, the marks and numbers whereof were defaced, one hoghead of sugar marked F. No. 102 ; 1 other hoghead of sugar, marked WB. No. 185 , one other hoghead of sugar, marked F. S. 1 hoghead of spirits, marked E. [enclosed with a diamond] No. 6 , one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 4 , one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. E. No. 5 , one other hoghead of spirits, marked B. R. No. 3 , one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 7 , one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 8 , and one other hoghead of spirits, marked WB. No. 9 , thirteen bales of cotton wool without mark or number, one bale of cotton wool, marked B. three other bales of cotton wool, marked HCC . fifteen other bales of cotton wool, the marks & numbers whereof were defaced; four whole bales, four half bales, four broken bales, and four bundles of cotton wool, the marks whereof, if any had been, could not be discovered, a quantity of logwood, and five hundred and fifty-one feet of mahogany. And whereas, by an advertisement formerly published in one of the newspapers printed in New-York , the said goods and merchandise were said to have been saved and taken on board of the said brigantine Port-Roseway , on Thursday the 5th day of August, 1784. And whereas, Gibbon Bourke and John Donnann , on behalf of John Shannon , master, and Samuel Nesbitt , mate, Malcom Taylor , Martin George , John Harper , Swiney Wilson and Alexander M c Kenzie , mariners, and Richard Hall , owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway , have filed a claim in the said Court, praying a decree for their proportional shares of the net proceeds of the said goods: And whereas, Daniel M c Cormick , of the city of New-York , merchant, for and on behalf of Hyem Cohen , of the island of Jamaica , hath filed a claim in the said Court, to the monies which have arisen from the sales of the said cotton wool, or part thereof, after the payment of salvage: And whereas, William Cook , of the city of New-York , Esq. for and on behalf of Richard Hall , of Shelburne , in Nova-Scotia , as sole owner of the said brigantine Port-Roseway , hath also filed a claim in the said Court, praying an allowance for salvage out of the monies arisen by the sale of the said goods, wares and merchandise. And whereas, it appears by the depositions of William M c Kenzie and Malcom Taylor , two of the persons on board the brigantine Port-Roseway , at the time the said goods and merchandise were so saved and taken on board; that the defected vessel out of which the said goods were saved, was generally supposed by themselves and others then present, to have been a brigantine; and it further appears by the said depositions and the deposition of Swiney Wilson , which depositions were severally taken in open Court, that the said defected vessel was a float vessel, (perhaps about three hundred tons burthen) had a woman's head, with guard-iron mouldings, that she had black sides and yellow mouldings, that she had either three or four ports on each side abaft her chains, that she had a double deck as far as her main-mast, and had deck-beams but no plank on them before her main-mast, as part of her lower deck, that she had quarter-barges but no quarter-galleries, and was plain behind, and that her quarter-deck was raised about three feet above her main-deck. Therefore, pursuant to an order of the said Court, public monition and notice is hereby given to all persons interested or claiming to be interested in the said goods, wares and merchandise, so saved or any part thereof, to put in a claim in the said Court for the same, within one year and a day from the day of the date of this monition and notice. Dated the eighth day of October, in the twelfth year of the Independence of the State of New-York, and the year of our Lord, 1787.

POET'S CORNER.
THE LAMENTATIONS OF ALPIN.
RING.
THE wind and beating rain are pass'd away; Mild and tranquil is the noon of day; The sun, with potent rays, the cloud divides, And o'er the verdant hill incontinent glides; The hill-stream murmur'd down in tuneful strains, Along the stony valley loud complains.
O! stream, thy tuneful murmurs sooth my ear, Yet equal not the matchless strains I hear; 'Tis Alpin's voice melodious fills the gales, He mourns the dead along the sounding vales, His head he bows with age, tho' once on high, And red with weeping is his tearful eye. Thou son of long Lubarne, why thus alone, Along the silent grove dost vent thy moan? As hollow winds are heard in mournful strains Along the bending forest to complain, Or as the broken billows murmur'd roar, Resounding on the solitary shore! ALPIN.
I mourn, O! Ryno, the departed brave The great inhabitant of yonder grave; And thou, tho' stately size, and youthful grace, Declare thee first of all thy comely race, Yet thou, with Morar shalt recline thy head, And streams of sorrow round thy grave be shed.
Thy swiftness Morar, pass'd the mountain roe, Bright as a meteor did thine armour glow, Thy sword in fight shed lightning on thy foes, When like December's storm thine anger rose; Thy voice like founding torrents aw'd the croud, Like distant thunder o'er the mountains loud!
But when return'd from war, how calm thy mien Thy peaceful brow how tranquil and serene! As after rain the sun's mild radiance bright, Or placid moon in silent shades of night; Calm as the lake when raging billows sleep, Nor gentle breezes curl the shining deep.
Now dark and narrow is thy dwelling there, Four mossy stones, thy sole memorial are; An ancient tree whose wonted foliage fails, And grass that whistles in the sighing gales, Mark to the weary wand'ring hunter's eye, The mansion where the mighty Morar lies!
Deep is his sleep whose mortal life is fled, And low the pillow of the valiant dead! No more the human voice shall charm his ear, No more he joys the waking call to hear, In his dark dwelling when will morning break, To bid the silent slumberer awake!
Thy aged fire, disconsolate, alone, Weeps o'er the grave of thee his only son! None else remain of all thy kindred dear, Nor son hast thou to pay the filial tear; Yet shall the grateful long prolong thy fame, And future ages learn thy mighty name.
