Can honour's voice provoke the silent dust,
Or fattery soothe the dull, cold ear of deathi
Perhaps In this neglected spot, is laid,
,, Somc heart once pregnant with celestial fire;
Hands that the rod ofempire might have sway'd,
Or walked TO ecstasy tho living Tyre.
But knowledge to their eyes her ample page,

~ Chill penury repressed their noble rage,
And froze the genial current OF the soul.
Full many gem of purest ray serene, ,.,# ..
Tho dark ,unfathom'd caves OF ocean bear;
Full many aoweris born to blush unseen,

Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray,

Some frail memorial still, erected nigh,
With uncouth rhymes, and shapeless deck,
Implores the passing tribute ofa sigh. 81.
