State, the, rise and fall of Brunswick,
of naught remains i to dky but the
sacre d walls of a desolate church,
and tae broken tomestonps of. honor

every semblance of the old thriving

to the lovera of the great and good
who nourished there- Shall this uv
activity always place the veil of obli

Shall no man arise to tell of Aslios,
