For Mr. Richard Boardman

With zeal for God, with love of souls inspired,
Nor awed by dangers, nor by labours tired,
Boardtnan in distant worlds proclaims the word
To multitudes, and turns them to the Lord:
But soon the bloody waste of war he mourns,
And loyal from rebellion's seat returns;
Nor yet at home, on eagles' pinions flies.
And in a moment soars to paradise.

FOR MR. PETER JACO.f
Fisher of men, ordain'd by Christ alone,
Immortal souls he for his Saviour won:
With living faith, and cahnly fervent zeal,
Perform'cl and suffer'd the Redeemer's will;
Unmoved in all the storms of life remain'd,
And in the good old ship the haven gain'd.
