On Sir PETER WARREN.
Here liethSir PETER WARREN,
Knight of the Bath,
And
Vice Admiral,
Active, judicious, brave,
Successful:
The faithful protector of our merchants:
The bane of our enemies:
A most generous encourager of all useful arts,
40
Honest, religious,
Polite, accomplished,
In all respects:
The glory of Ireland:
Loaded with honours by his king and country,
But
Not elated with them: who, being
(Alas! too soon)
Tired with earthly triumphs,
Took his flight, from his much beloved country,
To attain glory of a more lasting nature,
On the 29th of July,
1752.
