Nathaniel Lewis, May 12, 1778,—42.

What's Fame, a fancy'd life in other's breath
A thing beyond us ev'n before our Death.
A Wit's a feather and a Chief's a rod
An honeft Man's the noble Work of God.

My hope is fix'd my Spirit's free,
Longing my Saviour for to See;
Such joy and blifs, doth fill my foul,
Nothing on earth does me control,
My loving Hufband and Infant fmall
My Parents dear I leave you all;
My Soul doth wing the heavenly way.
My Saviour's call I muft obey,
Read this and weep but not for me,
Who willing was to part with thee;
That I may reft with Chrift above,
In peace and joy and endless love.

But Chrift will conquer thee,

And I shall rife again.

Stay gentle reader, view this spot of Earth,
Sacred to virtue, innocence, and worth,
Four infant roses, budding in the morn,
Shed their sweet fragrance in life's early dawn,
Entwin'd their parent stems, so fond caref'd
Each gave one smile, to glad the pensive breaft,
And dropp'd and wither'd, died! Here seek repose,
Till Christ transplant them in the groves above,
To bloom immortal in the joys of love.

John Buckley, Jr., Aug. 23, 1798,-23.

In Peace here refts a Traveller's Duft,
His Journey's at an End;

He priz'd Efteem among the Juft,

"Broke loofe from Time's tenacious Chains,

And Earth's revolving Gloom,

To range at large in vaft Domains,

Of radiant World's to come."

To part with worth invaluable,

to feel regret mantled in sympathy;

Pang of separation, and still bear
misfortunes cruel lash;

Is the lot of man, But resignation
tempers every scene

And points our warmest, fondest hopes to Heaven.
