ON THE RIGHT HONORABLE GENERAL C——Y LOSING HIS ELECTION FOR BURY ST. EDMUND'S . An humble muse presumes thy worth to boast , Says D——'s conquer'd , and that C——y lost ; Still thou dost triumph in the noblest part , Still doth preserve the generous patriot's heart ; Thy principles , great Chief , exalt thy fame , And ever shall immortalize thy name ; For ever lov'd , distinguish'd must thou be , For brightest virtues ever shone in thee ; Thy noble acts are well in Britain known , And generous friendship marks thee for her own ; Then glory , C——y in this seeming fall , Thou risest still superior over all : The day will dawn when Britain's sons shall see Their noblest privileges prized by thee ; Thou like the sun in yonder western skies , Only declin'st , more gloriously to rise .
