In 1802, when Mr. Pitt and Mr. Dundas resigned their ad-
ministration, subscriptions were opened at Glasgow and Edin-
burgh for erecting statues to these illustrious statesmen, as a
memorial of the gratitude of Scotland for their signal services.
At that time, along with two subscriptions, the following verses
were transmitted to the committees of management.
If sculptur'd marble, or the poet's lay,
Can patriot worth to future times convey,
Bright in the rolls of fame their deeds shall shine,
Who stemm'd the ills which discord dar'd design;
"Who Britain sav'd — while ravag'd Lurope saw
Her kingdoms bend to France's tyrant law.
"When time no more the laurell'd bust reveres,
"Which grateful Scotia to her guardians rears,
In brightening glory shall their memory bloom,
And wreaths unfading flourish round their tomb :
Still freedom's sons shall guard their well-earn'd fame,
And hail with Pitt, Dundas's deathless name.
