With spirit fit to shine in glory’s van;
Comrades who groan’d to see thee yield thy breath,
Yet almost envied thy heroic death.
Accept thy country’s praise! thy mother’s tears!
Whose heavenly sorrow Heaven itself reveres!
Kissing in agony affliction’s rod,
She yields her pride unmurm’ring to her God.”
