The following little effusion of grief and tenderness is said to have been written by Lord Caithness, whose unfortunate attachment and death are yet in remembrance.

On mere indifferent objects common bounty will shower relief, but when our bitterest foe is sunk, disarmed, and desolate,—Then! to feel the mercies of a pitying God, to raise him from the dust, and that best way to triumph over him, is heroic goodness. Thomson.
