So public blessings are his virtue's due.
Shout, Britons, shout—auspicious fortune bless!
And cry, Long live—Our title to success!
Epitaph
On Lord Aubrey Beauclerk[45], in Westminster Abbey, 1740.
Whilst Britain boasts her empire o'er the deep,
This marble shall compel the brave to weep:
As men, as Britons, and as soldiers, mourn;
