From an anonymous imitation.


Elegy.

Supposed to be written on a Field of Battle.

The wrathful storm hath swept along the dale;

The madd’ning fury of the fight is o’er;

Discord’s loud notes have ceas’d upon the gale—

The clang of arms, and pealing cannon’s roar;

The doubling drum; the trumpet’s brazen sound;
