Phillis Wheatley,
On the Death of Mr. Snider Murder'd by Richardson
“ He waits the curses of the age to come In vain he flies, by Justice Swiftly chaced With unexpected infamy disgraced By Richardson for ever banish'd here The grand Usurpers bravely vaunted Heir. We bring the body from the watry bower To lodge it where it shall remove no more Snider behold with what Majestic Love The Illustrious retinue begins to move With Secret rage fair freedom's foes beneath See in thy corse ev'n Majesty in Death. This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
