“Mighty Victor, mighty Lord, “Low on his funeral couch he lies![41] “No pitying heart, no eye, afford “A tear to grace his obsequies. “Is the sable Warrior fled?[42] “Thy son is gone. He rests among the Dead. “The Swarm, that in thy noon-tide beam were born. “Gone to salute the rising Morn. “Fair laughs the Morn, and soft the Zephyr blows “While proudly riding o’er the azure realm “In gallant trim the gilded Vessel goes; “Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm; “Regardless of the sweeping Whirlwind’s sway, “That, hush’d in grim repose, expects his evening-prey.
