On the Remarkable Attention and Respect, Paid to an Aged Veteran by a Young Officer
White wealth and power and splendid birth
A flatt'ring crowd may view,
There is an heraldry in worth
Which nobler minds pursue.
Pity, respect and kind applause
Shou'd chear the vet'ran's breast,
And he who serves his country's cause
Discerns her champions best.
