No one can read this poem, somewhat perhaps too nearly resembling an ode of Collins, nor many other of his more elegant productions, his sonnets set to music by Jackson, &c. without regretting the change of style and of subject which he afterwards adopted under the assumed name ―――― Pindar. Along the twilight vale I rove My sorrows o’er the youth to shed, Where Honour wraps the silent grave, That darkling seems to mourn the dead. And oh! tho’ far from thee I stray, Remembrance oft shall haunt the gloom, Her tear bedew thy lonely clay, Her hand with roses strew thy tomb. On Fancy’s ear shall swell the sigh By blooming virgins breath’d in vain, On Fancy’s ear the knell shall die, That sadden’d all the weeping plain. Tho’ forced from thee I wander far, Thy fate shall cloud my rising Morn; And oft with Evening’s silent star I’ll hover o’er thy distant urn. And when to Melancholy’s sigh The Muse her sorrowing voice shall join, Thy hapless fate shall fill her eye, And melt with woe the tender line. And oft shall memory impart The smile that shone on Albion’s brow, When kindling in thy youthful heart She saw the beams of valour glow. How few the sighs of Virtue mourn; How few, alas! the friends she knows; But here she comes, a pilgrim lorn, To bid thy gentle ghost repose. With sculpture let the marble groan, Let Flattery mock the lifeless ear; How nobler far the nameless stone Bedew’d by Pity’s generous tear. Mr. George Evelyn Boscawen, third son of the Admiral, succeeded his uncle as third Viscount Falmouth in July 1782, and married two years afterwards Elizabeth Anne, daughter of John Crewe, esq. Their eldest son, Edward Boscawen, advanced to the dignity of an Earl, married in August 1810, Ann Frances, daughter of Henry Bankes, esq. repeatedly member for Corfe Castle, and for the county of Dorset; they have an only son, who with the double portion of honour that invests young men who apply themselves to learning or science, without the ordinary stimuli of pecuniary benefit, or of advancement in the world, obtained the high distinction at Oxford in 1832 of being included in the first class of literary merit. Tregothnan, from its bold and elevated situation, commanding an extensive view, intersected by various branches of the Falmouth river, and of the harbour, from the abundance of its trees and woods, and from the integrity of its surrounding property fenced in by natural boundaries, must be considered as the first gentleman’s seat in Cornwall, with the exception perhaps of Mount Edgcumbe. The house standing there till within these few years, bore the appearance of considerable antiquity, and harmonized with the surrounding scenery; the ruins of Fentongollan could not have been used for building this house, as Mr. Hals relates: they may have supplied materials for repair, or for additional offices.
