ON THOMAS POLWHELE, Esq; LATE OF POLWHELE, BY THE REVEREND J. B. C. OF GLYNN.
Let adulation pour the venal strainO'er the proud ashes of the great and vain:
Whilst gratitude, with rude unfeigned lays,
Shall haste, Polwhele, to speak thy juster praise;
And piety, in tears of joy, shall tell
How firm the Christian stood, how calm he fell!
J. B. C.
