For life is ended when our honour ends.
STANZAS.
ON THE TAKING OF QUEBEC, AND DEATH OF GENERAL WOLFE.
Amidst the clamour of exulting joys,
Which triumph forces from the patriot heart,
Grief dares to mingle her soul-piercing voice,
And quells the raptures which from pleasure start.
O Wolfe! to thee a streaming flood of woe,
Sighing we pay, and think e'en conquest dear:
