On the Death of {General} Wolfe
Long as this Globe shall last Wolfe shall be known,
And his achievements be with wonder shown,
His name shall triumph & his deeds survive,
As long as Praise and gratitude shall live,
And Albions latest sons with trasnport hear.
Here-after Ages their great Sire revere;
When all shall end & nature's sly decay,
And dying world's their final doom obey,
Not then shall cease the glory he has won,
And then his praises shall be but just begun;
Then shall his Worth it's due Reward Receive
All he can ask or courteous heaven can give.
