In Memoriam.

In every age and cline, among mankind,
Have risen beings of exalted mind
Men fitted to persuade, instruct, COMMAND,
And shine as lights for every distant land.
Their names are blazoncd on the Scroll of Fame,
And fadeless honors through all ages claim;
Their mem'ries all p~osterity revere,
And render tributes, ardent and sincere.
But those were few, and when they passed away,
Involvir g clouds obscured the light of day;
Dark ages cams, and men, like serfs and slaves
In vain assayed to stem Expressions waves,
And sank inglorious, low beneath the tide
Unknown they lived, and in Oblivion died.
Not Sc Coldmbtais brave, illlstrious band,
Who gave fair Freedom to this happy land
Not SO with Stockton, who, with generous aim
Rose high, and famed the ever-during fame
On Freedoms altar; not a passing cloud
Come whence it might, could ever once enshroud
The brightness of his yision-ealm and clear, &c
He scanned tn events of every coming year;
Saw with an eagles glance the shining way
That led to portals of a brighter day
Tasked all the powers of his immortal mind,
To raise, e~nlighten, and instruct mankind.
With all the great and good of other days,
His name shall live, with tributary praise.
