TO THE MEMORY OF THE REVD. WILLIAM DODD, M. A. MANY YEARS VICAR OF Bourn in Lincolnshire; WHO DIED August 8, 1756. AGED 54: AND OF ELIZABETH HIS WIFE, WHO DIED May THE 21ST. 1755. AGED 55. WORTHY PARENTS, WHOSE PARTIAL FONDNESS ENCOURAGED, BUT WHOSE WISE, SOLLICITOUS, AND EVER-VALUED CARE ENABLED THEIR SON TO FAR BETTER PURSUITS, THAN “THIS IDLE TRADE:” THAT SON, WITH THE HIGHEST FILIAL VENERATION, INSCRIBES THIS LITTLE VOLUME OF POEMS, AS AN HUMBLE, BUT AFFECTIONATE MONUMENT OF THEIR MERIT, AND OF HIS LOVE. BEST OF PARENTS! WE SHALL MEET AGAIN!
