Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI| Mute memory stands at valor's awful shrine | A |
| 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 |
| Alone is thine o'er thy ador'd remains | E |
| 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 |
