Rather late with this once again.
Benjamin Francis 1734-1799
Benjamin Francis came from Wales
But he soon spread his sails.
First he went to Bristol College
To increase his knowledge
Then pastored a church in Horsley
For years - over forty!
He preached sermons, wrote elegies,
And words for melodies.
