EPITAPH On Miss ****, Pancras Church-Yard.
Go, spotless Honour, and unsullied Truth;Go, smiling Innocence, and blooming Youth;
Go, winning Wit, that never gave Offence;
Go, female Sweetness, join'd to manly Sense;
451
Go, saint-ey'd Patience, from Affliction's Door;
Go, Modesty, that never wore a Frown;
Go, Virtue, and receive thy heavenly Crown.
Not from a Stranger came this heart-felt Verse,
The Friend inscribes thy Tomb, whose Tears bedew'd thy Hearse.
