So perish all, whose breast ne'er learn'd to glow

For others' good, or melt at others' woe.[335:2]

By foreign hands thy decent limbs compos'd,

By foreign hands thy humble grave adorn'd,

By strangers honoured, and by strangers mourn'd!

And bear about the mockery of woe

To midnight dances and the public show.
