Author
Youth, beauty, strength, the trophy, and the bust,
Not these his honours to the Tomb we trust;
But modest manners, innocent of art,
The open nature, and the moral heart.
Such love of truth as ancient Britains bore,
Such fortitude, as never Roman more:
And call'd betimes, his task of glory done,
To mix with nature's social as his own.
