1. An Inscription on a Monumental Stone in Chessunt Church, in Hertfordshire. In Memory of Thomas Pickard, Esq. Citizen of London, who died suddenly, Jan. 29, A.D. 1719. Æt. 50.

A soul prepar'd needs no delays,
The summons come, the saint obeys:
Swift was his flight, and short the road,
He clos'd his eyes, and saw his God.
The flesh rests here till Jesus come,
And claims the treasure from the tomb.
