The following lines were composed on the melancholly state of the family of Mr. Benjamin Sandborn, of Sandbornton : who departed this life October 20, 1794, in the 49th year of his age;--he was seized with a nervous fever, continued twenty-one days, and during the whole time was deprived of reason:--he left a widow and fourteen children, to lament the loss of a kind husband and indulgent father.--Now take a view of his wife and children.
