stanzas of 4 lines each, printed in double columns, separated by a line of 
type ornaments.~ The first stanza as follows: The task be mine for to 
relate/ That awful scene which was of late:/ A lovely youth, all in his 
bloom / Has gone unto the silent tomb./ Under the poem there is a 
postscript in prose, Viz.: "The deceased, just before he took his departure 
to the world of disembodied spirits, was heard to remark, on the sudden 
death of his mother, which happened about five years past; from which it 
appears rational to conclude that his mind was in some degree conversant 
with death." ~There is no copy recorded in AI, nor OCLC, MWA, HLS, Brown,

find a copy in any of the major collections.[MWA, RBR, HLS, PUL, NYP, LC,

but not the slightest loss. One corner a bit beat up, but not much. About
