-<poem>
-Come shepards we’ll follow the hearse
-We'll see our lov‘d Corrydon laid;
-Tho' sorrow may blemish the verse
-Yet let the soft tribute be paid.
-They call'd him the pride of the plain,
-In sooth he was gentle and kind;
-He mark'd in his elegant strain
-The grace that glow‘d in his mind.
-No verdure shall cover the vale,
-No bloom on the blossoms appear,
-The sweets of the forest shall fail
-And winter discolour the year.
-No birds in our hedges shall sing
-Our hedges so vocal before,
-Since he that should welcome the spring
-Can hail the gay season no more.
-</poem>
