An Elegy On the Death of Thomas Bordley, Esq;
July 5, 2023What The Chairman Told Tom
July 5, 2023Lay a garland on my hearse
Lay a garland on my hearse,
Of the dismal yew,
Maidens, willow branches bear,
Say I died true.
My love was false, but I was firm
From my hour of birth;
Upon my buried body lie
Lightly, gentle earth.
