EPITAPH.

This frail memorial cannot tell his worth,
For brighter virtues seldom bloom on earth;
Nor in one heart such various beauties blend,
As husband, father, mason, christian, friend.
These duties done, to heaven his spirit bears
The widow's blessing, and the orphan's prayers;
For such his active charity has bless'd,
And they must love him most who knew him best.
