On the Death of General Montgomery

Brian Edwards

MONTGOMERY falls! let no fond breast repine

That Hampden’s glorious death, brave chief, was thine,

With his shall Freedom consecrate thy name,

Shall date her rising glories from thy fame;

Shall build her throne of empire on thy grave:

What nobler fate can patriot crave?
