Still willing well, and doing good to man : If learning, free from pedantry and pride ; If Faith and Virtue, walking side by side ; If well to mark his being's aim and end, To shine thro' life a Husband, Father, Friend, If these ambition in thy soul can raise, Excite thy reverence, or demand thy praise ; Reader, ere yet thou quit this earthly scene, Revere his name, and be what he has been.
