On the Death of the Right Hon. Thomas Marlay, Esq
What! Marlay gone! O death, how do I grudgeThy prize, the scholar, gentleman, and judge!
Of manners easy, and of taste refin'd,
The sweetest picture of the sweetest mind;
Soul of true humour, yet in sense a sage,
The Pollio and Mæcenas of the age.
Serenely as he liv'd, behold he dies,
Bless'd weeping friends around, and clos'd his eyes.
