My 1st cut short in youth's endearing bloom The Parent weeps his Childs untimely doom, My 2nd bids the hero's acts survive, Science uprear its head, & Commerce thrive. When work demands yr care, my whole fair maids, Each [[underline]] useful toil with help essential [[/underline]] aids. My 1st the road to peerage & to fame Gives to renown, a Scott's or Rosslyn's name But still did equal justice sway the state Their wily tricks a punishment await My second -- (oft the Culprit's lingering doom In France of yore, as still in ancient Rome) When martial Hero's quit the tented feilds From stormy times, my whole a shelter yeilds, But my cheif merit -- you will most revere To Lady Susan drew, I'm vastly dear.--
