Inscription

Adieu! thou Gentle, Pious, Spotless, Fair,
Thou more than daughter of my fondest care,
Farewell! Farewell! till happier ages roll
And waft me Purer to thy kindred Soul.
Oft shall the Orphan and the Widow'd poor
Thy bounty fed, this lonely spot explore,
There to relate thy seeming hapless doom.
More than the solemn record of the tomb,
By tender love inscribe an e'er portray,
Nor sculptured Marvel, nor the Plaintiff lay,
Proclaim thy Virtues thro' the vale of time
And bathe with grateful tears thy hallowed string.
