His Epitaph

Tender hearts bedew your eyes,
Here, beneath this Marble lies
One was spir'tually discerned,
Meek, wise, pious, vertuous, learned;
And whose understanding parts
Stor'd up all the lib'rall Arts.
He distilled wholsome truths,
On your hearts, Etonian youths;
Rouze your Muses to his praise,
Never dying pillars raise.
