FOR
THE
AUTHOR'S
FATHER
.
O
ye
whose
cheek
the
tear
of
pity
stains
,
Draw
near
with
pious
rev'rence
and
attend
!
Here
lie
the
loving
Husband's
dear
remains
,
The
tender
Father
,
and
the
gen'rous
Friend
.
The
pitying
Heart
that
felt
for
human
Woe
;
The
dauntless
heart
that
fear'd
no
human
Pride
;
The
Friend
of
Man
,
to
vice
alone
a
foe
;
'
For
ev'n
his
failings
lean'd
to
Virtue's
side
.
