TRANSLATION OF AN INSCRIPTION ON A MONUMENT,

INTENDED TO PERPETUATE THE MEMORY OF THE FRIENDSHIP OF TWO PERSONS WHO WERE LIVING WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN.

“May every light-winged moment bear
A blessing to this noble pair.
Long may they love the rural ease
Of these fair scenes, and scenes like these;
The pine's dark shade, the mountain tall,
And the deep dashing water-fall.
And when each hallowed spirit flies
To seek a better paradise,
Beneath this turf their ashes dear
Shall drink their country's grateful tear;
In death alike and life possessing,
The rich man's love, the poor man's blessing.”
