ERE yet the morn its lovely blushes spread,
See Sewell number'd with the happy dead.
Hail, holy man, arriv'd th' immortal shore,
Though we shall hear thy warning voice no more.
Come, let us all behold with wishful eyes
The saint ascending to his native skies;" (John Wheatley, On the Death of the Rev. Dr. Sewell)

"Come, let us behold with wishful eyes The said ascending to to his native skies"

Elegies are poems or songs of reflection, lamentation and praise for someone who has kicked the bucket.
