And waft his glory to his native skies;
Shall yet no altar blaze to Moncton's name,
And consecrate his glorious wound to fame;
Shall Townshend's deeds, o'er Canada renown'd,
So faint in British eulogies resound!
No grateful bard in some exalted lay
Brave Townshend's worth to future times convey
Who, for his country, and great George's cause,
Forsook the fulness of domestic joys,
To crush 'midst dangers of a world unknown,
