TO SIR ALEXANDER COCKBURN, SOLICITOR-
GENERAL,
ON HIS RETIRING FROM THE WESTERN CIRCUIT.
Fain would I tell—tho' language be but weak
To breathe in numbers what the heart would speak—
Fsin would I tell how all around me here,
Thiue ancient comrades, friends, companions dear,
Men who but emu:ate transcendant deeds,
And gladly follow where true greatness leads
Rejoice at thy success—rejoice co see
The victorpaltn—well won— assign'd to thee.
The wreath that decks our worthy Cockburn'is brows—
H. tour to each—to all—alike bestows;
Alike our bosoms own the genial glow,
That from responsive hearts must ever flow.
And yet amid our pleasure is a grief,
Whence time alone can minister relief:
The circuit courts no more that voice shall charm,
No longer shall thine orivory warm;
Which fri m its cell evalted the willing tear,
And could at pleasure fascinate and cheer.
When at the college that I lov'd so well,
Distinction track'd thy footsteps, all might tell
'Twas but the prelude of the opening plan—
The youth appear'd the father of the man.
Knowledge with growth has grown; thou art become
An honour to Old England's happy home.
Saint Stephen claims thee in his proud domain—
A senator—a statesman—in the train
Of Fox, of Windham, bold in cause of right,
And when occasion calls, prompt in the fight.
But now it seems that faction's ruthless shame
Would work destruction on tho untarnish'd name
Of a lov'd Minister, approved and true,—
Forth to the rescue gallant Cockburn flew !
In words that burn his eloquence found vent,
Home to the heart their fiavid vigour went;
Behold him dealing thick his vengeful blows!
Dread and more dread the wordy conflict grows:
With dauntless charge he leads his heroes on,—
The foe succombs; the victory is won!
Those words conviec'd; where doubt was felt before,
Persuasion bade us own'twas doubt no more.
E'en now we see thee with thy task begun
The goal far distant, and the race unrun;—
The toil—the strife—the ardour—and the zeal—
All that the great have felt, all that they feel,
ILaratin fur thee—ter thee's reserv'd the prizs—
The boon our nation pro Mrs to the wise.
May coming years shed yet a brighter ray—
More tlyzzlitig radiance o'er life's weary way !
May glory—honours—on thy path descend,
Enduring happiness thy career attend;
lA,inrmd lfeiriittih3oatntidayc be
uuetta hyitovewriysheeids cresouwd,
suer
And when in after-:itne tby name is rung,
And benedictions hallow'd by each tongue
1)o sanctify thy memor3—:(pleasing thought,
With fond anticipation richly fraugLt !)
Theu &hall thy fume in eiidltss beauty bloom
Unfading lustre o'er an hottoui'd tomb.
