IN MEMORY OF

BENJAMIN BROOKSON,

Who was drowned near Kew-bridge,
July 7, 1816.

Reader beneath this tributary stone,
The ashes of a youthful victim lie,
Whose early years with virtuous lustre shone,
Whose fate recalls the sympathetic sigh.

He sought, oppress'd by summer's sultry

sun,

The grateful coolness of the chrystal wave; And found where Richmond's rapid currents

run,

On Thames' deceitful shore a wat’ry grave.

Confiding in that Providence above,
Which guides the course of man's myste-
rious doom;

O'erwhelm'd with grief, a sorrowing father's
love,

Has rais'd this unadorn'd and humble stone.

En the Guild-Hall, in the City of London.

TO HORATIO, VISCOUNT NELSON,

Vice-Admiral of the White,

And Knight of the most honorable order of the Bath.

A man amongst the few, who appear
At different periods to have been created,
To promote the grandeur,
And add to the security of nations.

Inciting by their high example, their fellow mortals,
Through all succeeding times, to pursue
The course that leads to the exaltation of our
Imperfect nature.

Providence that implanted in Nelson's breast,
An ardent passion for deserved renown,
Had bounteously endowed him,

With the transcendant talents, necessary to the Great purpose he was destiued to accomplish.

At an early period of his life,

He entered into the Naval services of his Country,
And early were the instances,

Which marked the fearless nature,
And daring enterprize of his character.
