TRANSLATION OF AN INSCRIPTION RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN SAMOS.

(CLARKE'S TRAVELS.)

Turinna, fam'd for every grace
Of learning and of ancient race,
Whom all the virtues did consent
With all their gifts to ornament,
When thrice nine little years are flown
Hath left her parents to bemoan
With bitter tears, the early dead
By whom their house is widowed.
For nought remains, now she is gone,
That love or hope may rest upon.
And she hath left her palace home
To sleep within the narrow tomb.
Yet may her race, or good men feign,
Revive from such distress again.
