These words were uttered in a place called , in the north, or in the road to the north, to which, for some time past, our corps had been slowly advancing.
'tis thine to gild with fame Th' obscure, and raise the humble name; To make the form elude the grave, And Sheppard from oblivion save! Apelles Alexander drew Cesar is to Aurelius due; Cromwell in Lilly's works doth shine, And Sheppard, Thornhill, lives in thine!"
