Her goodness seeking no applause from earth,

But ever steadfast to its heavenly law:

For she, like her of old, with listening ear

Sate at the Saviour's feet and won His plaudit dear.

[ GOVERNOR JOSEPH TRUMBULL, ]

Died at Hartford, August 4th, 1861; and his wife, Mrs. Eliza Storrs Trumbull, the night after his funeral.

Death's shafts fly thick, and love a noble mark.

—And one hath fallen who bore upon his shield

The name and lineage of an honor'd race

Who gave us rulers in those ancient days
