This spot contains the ashes of the just Who sought no honour & betrayed no trust. This truth he prov'd in every path he trod An honest man's the noblest work of God. Christian sincere ! thou generous, feeling friend Here with the ills of life, thy sorrows end ! True worth, like thine, sustains no rude decay Tho' time should sweep these sculptur'd lines
away While weeping friends bend o'er thy silent tomb, Recount thy virtues and their loss deplore ; Faith's piercing eye darts through the dreary gloom And hails the blest, where tears shall flow no more.
