EPITAPH
ON MARY, THE WIFE OF GEORGE MITFORD, ESQ.
A Woman pious, liberal, frank, and kind,Of gentlest manners, and of noblest mind;
A Wife, who forty changing summers knew
Unchang'd, tho' round her life's wild tempests blew;
A friend endearing, constant, and sincere;
A mother wisely fond;—lies buried here:
Friends, Husband, Children, wept her parting breath,
Yet in her Life find comfort for her Death.
