But with a touch more solemn we revere
The man of faith, and piety sincere:

Prayer was his stay, the gospel was his road

It was with affectionate concern and respect, that the author of this little ethic labour, and cheerful tribute to the memory of Mr. Boswell, learned, that, to the end, and in prospect of dissolution, Prayer was his stay, &c.


To virtue, to enjoyment, and to God.”

If truth and friendship thus your M--- mourn:
And let them frankly say, Beware, beware,
Whatever was his foible, or his snare.
