LINES DEDICATED TO MFG
To the dark grave where silence reigns,
And Death his shadowy host drtains;
OF life bsrefl, and quenched lis hires,
Genius full ripe too soon retires
Enclosed in that obscure abode
The bosom cold with life that glowed:
No more we tfnce ills woned Charms;
No more the gentle spirit warns
On seraph's wings his souI took flight
To regions Of eternal light;
To utller worlds his spirit flies
Far, far beyond yon azure skie5.
