If ever tears deservedly were shed,

If ever grief was due to Virtue dead,-
Thy Merit, Martha, and thy spotless ways,
Claim tears from all, for all allow them praise:
Thy strength of Mind we scarce shall meet again,
Shewn through a long, most agonizing pain;
Thy warm affection as a Wife or Friend,
Make all who know you, weep your cruel end;
Cruel, alas! but this one thing we're sure,
Those Virtues that you held in life so pure
Will be repaid. This thought and that alone
Your friends have left to mitigate their moan,
That latest tribute a kiud husband gives
Whose heart is torn, is wretched while he lives,
And only prays one day to reach that shore
To meet his MARTHA, and to part no more.

The sad effusions of a mournful Muse,

And youth's warm blood still flushes in your face,
Perhaps o'er you Death holds his iron rod,
And unprepar'd demands thee from thy God.
