This glee is a setting of the text of the memorial tablet to the hero of Quebec in Westerham parish church.
Lyrics: Anon
While George in sorrow bows his laureled head,
And bids the artist grace the soldier dead,
We raise no sculptured trophy to thy name,
Brave youth; the fairest in the lists of fame.
Proud of thy youth, we boast th'auspicious year,
Struck with thy fall we shed the general tear;
With humble grief inscribed one artless stone
And from thy matchless honour date our own.
While George in sorrow bows his laureled head,
And bids the artist grace the soldier dead,
We raise no sculptured trophy to thy name,
Brave youth; the fairest in the lists of fame.
Proud of thy youth, we boast th'auspicious year,
Struck with thy fall we shed the general tear;
With humble grief inscribed one artless stone
And from thy matchless honour date our own.
