The trumpet shall rouse him to sing out Amen.
AT WREXHAM, WALES.
Elihu Yale, (founder of Yale College,) ob. 1721, æt. 73.
Born in America, in Europe bred,
In Afric travelled, and in Asia wed;
Where long he lived and thrived, in London dead.
Much good, some ill, he did; so hope all’s even,
And that his soul through mercy’s gone to Heaven.
You that survive, and read this tale, take care,
For this most certain exit to prepare,
