LXVIII.—INSCRIPTIONS ON PORTRAITS.

The Lines under Dr. Owen's Picture, written by himself.

Englished thus:

Behold the shade, the frail remains
Of sickness, cares, and studious pains.
The mind in humble posture waits
At sacred Truth's celestial gates,
And keeps those bounds with holy fear,
While he who gave it, sees it there.
