ON THE DEATH OF DR. ISAAC SCHOMBERG.

Could drugs of more immediate power,
By skill more opportune apply'd,
Protract, for man, the vital hour,
No Friend of Schomberg's e'er had dy'd!
Could warm Benignity of soul
Arrest th' arm up-rear'd to kill,
Death would have felt the bland controul,
And Schomberg had been living still!
