MONODY ON FRANCIS DUKE OF BEDFORD,

Once more, my Harp, I Rrike thy trembling firings,
L'ut not a-,ain to joy thy notes I raife !
Cilia' o'er the chords her hand difircfsful flings,
And, faintly paufing, oft the lung delays.
M.,ern, Mourn! around the grave of Russct.i. mourn!
Ye Great! ye Young ! ye Gay ! furround his bier!
Alas' from every blifs thus early torn ;
He !peaks, though mute, and fondly claims the tear !
Peers of his greatnefs! knows of his youth !
Approach ! approach ! lo! fallen from his round
Is earthly dignity! Behold, with truth,
Of rank, of title, pow.r, the narrow bound!
For him no more (hail Pomp difplay her charms,
Nor Ceremony greet him with a (mile :
In Flatt'ry veil'd, no more (hall fervile fwarms
Of fy4)phants attend him to beguile.
No more (hall Friends around his Board repair,
Or join convivial in fort Pleafure's train ;
The chofen few no more his thoughts mall (hare,
Nor the Rill Senate lißen to ►is Brain.

One tribute paid, and his career mall dole:
The fcpukhre Mall guard his honour'd duft ;
Within the Haute of Death he (hall repofe,
Nor wake till the revival of the Jolt !
Ye ! who with grief the holy rites have join'd,
And Peen his corpfe in folemn hands laid.
Inftrueted turn !—his Rate, with wealth combin'd ;
His fall,: ; the beauty in his form difplay'd ;
The patriot teal, which glow'd within his heart ;
The gentle tcar, which tender Pity drew;
Avall'd not to repel the fatal dart
The fudden hand of Death ►cnrorfelefs threw !
Yc Poor! who throng one parting look to claim,
In fpeeehlefii energy and broken fighs !
Your grateful forrow mall enflirine his name ;
Your faithful orgies waft him to the Wes !

men °Mervin, they attempted to get poffeflion
of her again, but were prevented by the inter-
ference of thefe two men, and his Majetty's !hip
coming up.
It wait fubmitted, on the part of thefe two ma-
riners, (who fet up a claim of joint falvage) that
by their exertion, and making ufe of the arms
which the Frenchmen had left on board, they pre.
vented the enemy obtaining poffeffion of this (hip

(hare in the falvage.
On the part of the King's (hip, it was fubmitted,
that thefe two perfons were amply rewarded by
being refcued from captivity, and thereby placed
in a lunation which would enable them to recover
their wages for the whole of the voyage.
The Court faid it was not a common ferviee
that would intitle them to falvage, and it was of
opinion that they did nothing more than what
every leaman was bound to do, and if they had
not done fo, it would have been a breach of their
duty,and therefore confidered them amply reward-
ed by being relined from a French prifon, and
thereby were entitled to recover their wages.
