ALL you that must take a leap in the Dark,
Pity the Fate of Lawson and Clark;
Cheated by Hope, by Mercy amus'd,
Betray'd by the sinful ways we us'd:
Cropp'd in our Prime of Strength and Youth,
Who can but weep at so sad a Truth;
Cropp'd in our Prime, &c.
Once we thought 'twould never be Night,
But now alass 'twill never be light;
