United States | and discharged their duties with firmness | and integri- ty. | To an enlarged and superior mind he added | the strictest mor- ality and served his God | by im- proving himself in virtue and knowledge. | He has now gone to receive a glorious reward | for a life spent in honour and unsullied by crime. | His afflicted wife and children raise this stone over his grave and have no consolation but Į in the remembrance of his vir- tues. |
O'er thy lov'd tomb shall angels bend, And true affection tribute pay To mourn the Father, Husband, Friend, Untimely torn by Death away.
Tho' power and honour could not save Thy mortal part from Death's abode, The ethereal spirit bursts the grave And seeks the bosom of its God.
