EPITAPH.
[O thou, remov'd from this world's strife]
O thou, remov'd from this world's strife,
Whose relics here below are laid,
May Peace, who watch'd thy harmless life,
In death protect thy gentle shade!

May Peace, who watch'd thy harmless life,
In death protect thy gentle shade!

Yet not alone around thy bier,
Thy children's sighs unfeign'd ascend;
The mourner Pity drops a tear,
And Virtue weeps a vanish'd friend.
