LINES To the Memory of the late Mr. DAfID JIORL E Y, of the Town of Carmarthen, ichose death was recorded in the Carmarthen Journul of April lsf, 1831. Thus passes o'er, through viri (I life's career, Man'" fleeing age the season* as they fl, Soatrh from us in their course, \ear after year, Some sweet connexion, some endearing tie., IF Sense, and Truth, and manly Worth rnmbin d, CI'T'in Friendship's lies, or deep impress the mind If Honour. Uprightness, and Candour bland, Can lead the Feelings, and Respect command If kind and warm Sincerity of Soul Esteem secures-or the united whole Deserve the Admiration of our kind. And Man's erratic heart to man can bind How mans hearts, whose lend rib firnilv twine Round what ennobles Man, were, MOKLEY, thine? Yes, bound to thee each breast which Virtue files, And firm unbending-Honesty admires.- And warmly bound, from ciirly youth, was mine, For firm unbending Honesty was thine For lengthen'd years, I found (liee still the same. Without one single deed to slain thy name. [blaze; Blush, Grandeur, blush proud Courts withdraw jour Ye little stars hide your diininish'd rays." What though nor birth, nor rank. nor title high, 3Cor classic lote was he distinguish d by — What though amongst th' exalted sons of fame, In after days, shall not appear his name; — What though no flatt'rer of the passing age Trace his career, to sweif th' historic page s — And though no Monument shall pierce the sky. "With Records of his Deeds emblazon'd high I- Yet that was his, which is superior far, To clas,ic lore, or trophies ain'd in wir I- That, which their onlv good mankind can rail. Shall stand when proudest Monuments shall fall! Our highest hope, and Earth's most glorious prize, And which ^i!oiie gives title to the skies- Irrimorlal Virtue !-Choi(.est gift of Heaven, la no unsparing share, !o him was given. Because he enter'd not the field of strife, Was he less useful, through a iensithen'd life ?— His deeds less beneficial to the Age, Because they grace not History's proud P-cire i- Ah, no 1 His actions were more useful tar, Than deeds of heroes farrenown'ri in war.

And, if 'tis ask'd who wrote this humble verse, Whilst sheddi'ig sorrow's tears upon thy herse This answer then, let those who a.-k -ittend- 'Tis one who was. through life's long day, thy Friend— And who, whilst life acd mem'ry shall remain, Shall weep thydeath, although he in vain- And one who fain would make thy Virtues bloom- A soul congenial mourning o'er thy tomb. Erynymaen, April 15th, 18^1. T. J. He was, it; his early days, and continued through life, the firm and steady friend of the Ubfrties of Mankind over the world and his capacious mind early perceived the nc- cessity of that Parliamentary Reform now acknowledged by all; and the agitation of which is making so much noise through every part of the United Kingdom; but which he r.everceased'ro advocate.. f He established the first and most exien-iive Cibinet and Upholstery Manufactory ever carried on in Wales; which he conducted in a sb Ie of elegance scarcely inferior to any similar Establishment in London, and which he carried on about forty-five years, constantly employing a great num- ber of people, many of whom continued in bis employ Coring most of that long period, and manj others never left him during their lives than which no stronger proof need be adduced of thekindntss. of his disposition, the upright- n of hisconduct, or of the esteem in which lie was held by those who had the most frequent opportunities of knowing him.
