EPITAPH ON THE REVEREND MR. BLUCK,
FORMERLY CURATE OF ST. ANDREW'S HOLBORN.
While o'er this modest stone Religion weeps,Beneath a generous cheerful Christian sleeps;
Rests from the Teacher's charge, the Scholar's part;
Labours of Love, and Virtues of the Heart:
Who own'd, observant still of Truth's fair rays,
No other guide, nor wish'd for other praise:
Who Friend to Man, and Foe to Vice alone,
Liv'd for our Bliss; and died to crown his own.
