The Great, the Just, the Generous, the Kind;
The universal Darling of Mankind,
The noble Ossory is now No more!
The mighty man is fall'n—
From Glory's lofty pinnacle,
Meanly like one of us, he fell,
Not in the hot pursuit of victory,
As gallant men would choose to die;
10But tamely, like a poor plebeian, from his bed
To the dark grave a captive led;
