Oh, then how welcome is a death like this,
From thy diseased age to rise in bliss,
And leave thy Friends in memory to bear
Thy cold remains and o'er it shed a tear,
While reason and religion there would cease,
And leave triumphant death to sink in peace,
While heavenly angels guard this silent tomb,
Prepared to lead thee to thy promised home.
