Author's note: ... I am requested to include under the covers of the Bournbank "Fragments" the following Stanzas, written on the grand historical Catastrophe of the year. I know them to be throughly unequal to the height of the subject. For an adequate commemoration of the Sack of Richmond, a genuine Poet, Like Matthew Prior, is needed ... But alas, no Horace, no Spencer, no Prior, now lives to tell the heroick achievements of Virginia! And I freely own that the Author of the ensuing Lines: "Who durst of War and martial Fury sing, / Was all unmeet to touch the trembling string."
