Further Notes

Gents.Mag., Mar 1801, p.257 VERSES To the Memory of Capt.Rivington, who commanded the Kent, belonging to the East India company, who fell gloriously on the 7th of October, 1800, in an Action with La Confiance, a French Frigate, in the Bay of Bengal. (see this Month's East India News and the Obituary.) If active spirit tempt thee e'er to roam, And quit thy native for a foreign home, Remember well that, distant though you move, No space from Friendship shall divide, or Love. Lo! Robert, nurtur'd from his early youth To glow with virtue, and to feel with truth, In rip'ning age matur'd his just disdain Of all that cringing Flatt'ry taught to feign. His manly virtues mark'd their genuine source, And naval toil confirm'd their native force. In Fortune's adverse trial undismay'd, A Seaman's zeal and courage he display'd; For Honour firmly stood, at Honour's post, And gain'd new glory when his life he lost. H.G. --- Gents.Mag., Mar 1801, p.275 Capt. Rivington, who so nobly fell in defending his ship (the Kent, see p.270 <for a full account>), was a young man of the greatest merit and conspicuous talents. It was his first voyage as captain; and the ship a new one, belonging to Henry Bonham, esq. Capt. R. was the son of a highly-respected father, John Rivington, esq. Bookseller, of st.Paul's Church-yard, where he lived, universally esteemed, for mor than half a century. The father and son, from their lives and deaths, have made their memories immortal. ---
