An Elegy on the death of Do&or
Samuel Crefwell, who died in
W aldington, in the evening of
the 15th December 1788.
WHAT can secure from dire disease,
Or flay the fleeting breath ?
We all must yield, when Heav'n decrees
To fleknefs and to death.
Then let us cease to sigh or grieve,
Though we have lofl a friend;
Since he (hall endless bliss receive,
And all his troubles end.
Our loss, with patience let us bear,
And at bis gain rejoice;—
And hark !—what music strikes the ear 1—
It is an Angel’s voice !
u Forever blefled are the dead
“ Whom no foul deeds condemn;
u From all their cares and labors freed :
“ Their works do follow them.f"
Could goodness, charirr, and truth,
From dilfolution save ;
Our friend had liv'd in endless youth,
Secure against the grave.
Did he anjafs a fortune ?—-ncu
Too generous to be rich;
For all his large acquaintance know
How much he gave to each.
Ye widows, and ye orphans, come,
Yc wretched, and j:c poor ;
With grateful tears bedew his tomb—
Your patron is no more!
APOSTROPHE.
Although thy bones, lamented (hade 1
T<* m«ul<Ur, in the earth a i’C !«•«*,
Without a stone to tell thy name,
Yet thou (halt (well the trump of fame!
Let wealth and oflentation raise
Their monuments, in purchas’d praise;
Let polic'd marble, flattering fliiuej
Few monuments (hall equal thine.
In time, e’n marble (hall decay,
And all its flattery away.
But while a free and generous* nim>.,
That loves a friend—-to good inclin'd,
Is honor'd, prais’d, efteem'd, approv'd,
Thy name (hall e'er be mourn'd and lovM.
While friendship can remembrance give,
Thy name lhall in our memories live.
When, in our Lodge, we raile a shrine
To model! virtue, when we join
To fix the pillars of the fame ;
Upon them all, we'll write thy name.
See Wisdom , friendthip, charity,
The Strength of each community;
And also Beauty* s brightest gem ;
By following thee, we'll follow them#
