In tears Britannia mourns her hero dead | B |
A world's regret brave Abercrombie's thine | A |
For nature sorrow'd as thy spirit fled | B |

For not the tear that matchless courage claims | C |
To honest zeal and soft compassion due | D |

Each virtue weeps for all once liv'd in you | D |

Yes on thy deeds exulting I could dwell | F |
To speak the merits of thy honor'd name | G |
But ah what need my humble muse to tell | F |
When rapture's self has echo'd forth thy fame | G |

Yet still thy name its energies shall deal | H |
When wild storms gather round thy country's sun | I |
Her glowing youth shall grasp the gleamy steel | H |
Rank'd round the glorious wreaths which thou hast won | I |
