EPITAPH on a very Worthy DIVINE.
Who shall describe the virtues of his mind,His upright heart, benevolent and kind!
Where honour, truth, and candour did abound!
When will, alas! such ample worth be found?
They, whom we most esteem, oft soon decay,
Snatch'd by decrees of Providence, away;
While sordid wretches struggle still with fate,
Ward off each blow, and reach the longest date.
