On Colonel Gardiner,
Who was slain in the Battle at Preston Pans, 1745.
While fainter merit asks the powers of verse,Our faithful line shall Gardiner's worth rehearse.
The bleeding hero, and the martyr'd saint,
Transcends the poet's pen, the herald's paint.
His the best path to fame that e'er was trod,
And surely his a glorious road to God.
