Go, happy spirit, seek that blissful land
Where zealous Michael leads the glorious band
Of those who fought for truth; blest spirit, go,
And perfect all the good begun below:
Go, hear applauding saints, delighted, tell
How vanquished falsehood, at thy bidding, fell!
Blest in that heaven, whose paths, thy virtues sought;
Blest in that God whose cause thou well hast fought;
O let thy honour'd shade his care approve,
Who this memorial rears of filial love:
A son, whose father, living, was his pride;
A son who mourns that such a father died.
