The poor man lost a friend
Opressions grasp he loosened
And he made the tyrant bend
Until death's cruel mandale
Obliged him to obey
And caused him to surrender
On the twenty fifth of May

For ever will bear in mind

By all he was respected
Here's to his memory.
And his name shall be recalled
On the face of History.
Not since the old Milesians
Our country ne'er produced
No nor in future ages
A man of so much use.111

He knew the use of arms(continues on next page)- Collector
