EPITAPH I. On Mr. A. H. a great Traveller.

From Orcade Isles to Ægypts's Coast
His Travels Sauny still wou'd boast,
And lov'd about the World to roam.
Howe'er, at the last Trumpet's Sound
He promis'd, he wou'd here be found,
And tarry quiet now at home.

146

EPITAPH II. On Delia.

Here Delia's buried at Fourscore:
When young; a leud, rapacious Whore,
Vain, and expensive; but when old;
A pious, sordid, drunken Scold.

147

EPITAPH III. On Mrs. Beata F---

Stay, Youth, and o'er this Marble weep,
Where now alone, and fast asleep
Beata lies, poor Sinner!
Alive, so tempting, so resign'd,
She ever charm'd, yet spar'd Mankind
The Time, and Pains to win her.

148

EPITAPH. IV. On my Lady---

Beneath this Marble lays a Load
Of Earth, which once was Flesh, and Blood,
Warm'd with a Spirit strangely prone
To hate all Notions, but her own:
Her Person fair, of moderate Size,
Her Mind, as moderately wise;
Not very dull, nor mighty smart;
But hated Wit with all her Heart:
Not very silent, nor a Scold;
Extremely chaste, extremely cold,
Loyal, and pious to Excess,
And truly bumble in Distress,

149

She liv'd in Fear, and dy'd in Hope,
Renouncing Satan, Whig, and Pope.

EPITAPH V. On------

Timon of London here is laid,
Who was a close rich, testy Blade:
Lest any Mortal, now alive,
Shou'd by his mighty Treasure thrive,
'Tis by his Will to Heirs convey'd,
Still to be gotten, born, and bred.
