Twin Daughters

Also
In Memory of Darius, Son
of Capt Thos Atwood and
Mehetabel his Wife who
Died Jan. 23, 1809 Aged 2 mo & 8 days.
Here, here they lie! oh! could I once more view
Those dear remains; take one more fond adieu
Of th' work of God, their beauteous clay, which here
In infant charms so lovely did appear,
As tho' in nature's nicest model cast,
Exactly polish'd, wrought too fine to last-
By the same hand that wrought, again shall they arise
To bloom more gay more lovely in the skies.
