MONODY,

ON THE DEATH OF GENERAL MACQUAttfW,
• Late Governor of New South IValei.

- .
'Mid Scotia's Islets of the *est,*
Wash'd by the rude Atlantic wave,
A Veteran's modest trophies rest,—
A Chieftain slumbers in the grave.
No column rears its lofty head
Perchance, to mark that hallow'd spot ;
Yet deem not thus the honour'd dead;
—His day once o'er,—entomb'd,—forgot.
—Ab ! no—his cherish'd memory
Shall want no letter'd eulogy.
Heard ye those sounds of wail and woe,
The southern Thule sweeping ?
His dirge is chaunted—solemn and slow:—
Australia's Sons are weeping!
Death knows not flattery, yet no eye
Among that mournful group is dry.
The 31an of God recounts his worth,_
His years of toil,—his pious zeal
To check profaneness in its birth,—
His ardour for the orphan's weal e--
Early and late,--by day, by night,
To serve mankind was his delight- :
Kind Ruler, Husband, Father, Friend,—
What more can human nature blend ?
—Hark ! hark ! the trumpet sounds,--the grave
Yields up its tenants. He ascends
To realms, where never-fading laurels wave
To deck the Chieftain's brow ; and music lends
Its aid celestial, from the choir of heaven,
To greet the Good, the Virtuous, that is risen ! Z.

• In the Island of Mull, one of the Hebrides, or Western
Isles, General Macquarie was born and interred.
