He raised the Room that towers above the street,

A public room where grateful parties meet;

He first the Life-boat plann’d; to him the place

Is deep in debt - ’twas he revived the Race;

To every public act this hearty friend

Would give with freedom or with frankness lend;

His money built the Jail, nor prisoner yet

Sits at his ease, but he must feel the debt;

To these let candour add his vast display;

Around his mansion all is grand and gay,
