Sunk at his moorings,
On Wednesday, the twenty-ninth of April,
MjIXCLXXXIX,
One, who never struck his flag,
While he had
A Shot in the Locker’,-
Who can?*:d fail, in chace,
Till all was blue ; —-
In peace, wbofc greatest glory was,
A flagger ing top-fail breeze', —
Ip war, to bring his broadside round,
To bear upon the enemy:
And who, when flguals of diflrefs, hove out,
Ne’er flood hia„courfe,
But haul’d, or tack’d, or wore,
To give relief
Though to a foe :
Who fleer’d his little bark.
Full 50 annual crui/es,
O’er life’s tetnpeftuous ocean,
And moor’d her fate in port at last
, Where,
Her timbers being crazy,
And having a leak
In the gale,
She went down"
With a clear hade. —
If, these traits excite ih the Bread of hu
manity, that commbn tribute to the memo
ry of the departed,'
A Sigh !
Then, Traveller,
( As thou pafleth this wreeft,)
Let thine be borne upon th& breeze,
Which bends the giall* covering
Os the grave
Of*
Old JOB PRAY!
