Classic Poem

To the Memory of Mr. George Hayden

Author of many Excellent Compositions in Musick

Hayden, these little legacies of thine
Glow with the tincture of a worth divine;
The master shines in all that thou hast done,
And Envy's self must now thy merit own.
I lov'd thee living, and thy shade revere;
What more but silence and a friendly tear?EnglishShort Poems
