II. EPITAPH.

“His sacred sleep Acanthian Saon lies
“Here slumbering; say not that the good man dies.”

ON THE SAME.

Like golden hues, when tempests flee,
Which may an evening sky illume;
Like moon-beams on a stormy sea;
Or lamp that burns within a tomb;—

Such was this truth at random thrown
Which shed its light upon a grave;
Yet 'twas enough if rightly known
To cheer in life, in death to save.
