EPTTAPH on NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE.
Here, by Divine appointment,
MoCkug earthly wisdom and valor
Expectations and prospects,
4 lonely speck Of earth, in distant ocean
Congresses the dust and ashes
OfNApOLEON BUONAPARTE
Who rose to the zenith Of glory,
Falsely 50 called
From which eminence he soon fell,
Like LUCifer son Of the morning.
His talents for good. and abilities for evil
Were pre-eminenty great:
The latter prevailed.
In liz age he seemed 70 stand alone
For a time as its or6iter.
And he filed it with dis aSters.
Yet has me left vest iges
Of what a mighty mind,
Though spoiled by ambition.
Gould plan and execute, for general good
" hile exaltng himself and his family,
Little did he think
That he was a mere Instrument
70 effect the purposes Of the Most High;
OF which we, too, know but little;
Glorious in the issue.
Reader,
Deal gently in Judging
For the SAKE of our common nature
This man was thy brother;
4aofhsy lr;N lsdge thee.
