ON THE DEATH OF Mrs. Elizabeth Farington.

If to observe Religion's strictest Laws,
Merits reward in Heav'n, or Earth's Applause,
Eliza must be bless'd, her Shade rever'd,
In whom the finish'd Saint so bright appear'd.
In ev'ry Action of her pious Life,
A vertuous, prudent, and a tender Wife:
A Mother most indulgent, and a Friend,
Constant, Sincere, and Gen'rous to the End.

122

The careful Mistress of a well rul'd House,
The dear lov'd Wife of an endearing Spouse;
Fond Mother of a numerous, beauteous Line,
Whom all lament, but none can e'er outshine.
