Coast, and frtim different parts of the interior, would
be extremely advantageous. For this put pose, he

France, Spain, and England ; and he believed that

L [HUT EN/1 NT.CO LONEL BROWNRIGGI .
Friend of my soul I by many ties endear'd,
Belov'd, esteeni'd, regretted, and rever'd!
Whose innate and transcendent worth I knew
Long ere it shone before the public view,
In deeds, which must immortalize thy name,
Religion was the ground-work of thy fame !
On her firm basis were thy atlions wrought*,
And few e'er praCtised better what she taught ;
Hence in that scene of devastation drear
Thy conscious rectitude forbad all fear.*
True to thy God, thy Country, and thy Kii)g;
E'en as thy pious soul preparitt to wing
To more congenial climes, her glorious flight
To the blest realms of everlasting light,
Almost thy last faint accents thou didst raise,
With generous tc..rvor, on another's praise I
How well expressive of thy noble mind! +
Long may we seek, Out rarely shall we find,
Anotit..x seen ! got Iso truly hrave 1
;art.telt sorrow which thy early grave
Caii'd form throughout all ranks, more strongly
Titan Ali the farce of language, how belov'd
Thou weft by all. yirstly lamented F timl I .

Its influence! Then tray we hope to be
Partakers.of eternal bliss—with Tilt% !
