    And when, a mourner o'er his bier,
    Sad Albion pours the filial tear;
    Around may guardian-seraphs wait,
    And waft him to a happier state;
    Conduct him to a brighter throne,
    A realm of peace, a fairer crown;
    Enrich'd with many a spotless gem,
    Virtue's illustrious diadem!"
