following lines were written on the
melancholy occasion Of his death by o
gifted lady in Washington:
Truth, honor, love and friendship
now are wreathing
Their fairest laurels DER his silent
tomb,
And plaintive requiems of repose are
breathing
A holy incense, and rare perfume.
His memory time will render still more
dear;
Though death has closed on him it's
giocmy portals,
The brave and true his virtues will
revere"
