He asked not that fame should his merits rehearse;
But he asked as a boon, when he gave up the ghost,
That his brethren might know that he died at his post.
5 Victorious his fall—for he rose as he fell,
With Jesus, his Master, in glory to dwell:
He has passed o’er the stream, and has reached the bright coast,
For he fell like a martyr—he died at his post.
6 And can we the words of his exit forget?
O! no; they are fresh in our memory yet:
An example so worthy shall never be lost,
