English poem
ODE for the procession, at the end of the fifth act
by Joseph Reed (1741–1785)
In one grave were never laid, Such a BARD, and such a MAID.
Britons, mourn! the loss deplore; Wit and beauty are no more! Where is now your country's boast? Fled, alas! forever lost! Never, never, to return! Mourn, lamenting Britons, mourn! Mourn your fate, your loss deplore; Wit and beauty are no more!
