Dec. 1807.—Lines on the Death of Sir Francis Hutchinson:—
Thy useful labours, Hutchinson, are o’er,
And heaven has gained one kindred spirit more.
Wise, cheerful, pious, active, and humane,
Acknowledged lord of learning’s wide domain,
Thy path was graced with all that blesses life.
Cheered and illumined by a tender wife;
Honour was thine, health, virtue, length of days,
And thine the soul whose undiminished rays,
Bright to the last, with living lustre burned,
