Whene'er be heard the voice of psin,

He knew no base design.
His eyes were dark and rather snlslI.

He modest merit sought TO tini,

He had no malice in his mini,
No rutf!es on his shirt.

His worldly goods lie never threw
In trust to Fortunes chances.
He lived las sli his brothers dnl
In easy circumstances.

His peaceful moments ran.
