A Gentleman of ability in the of he sustained
A Capt. of the troop of horse of New Haven
Distinguished for his many amiable qualifications
In his public devotions he was attentive & devout
He was cheerful, kind, affable and abliging
In his charity liberal
Feeling the misfortunes of others
Making a proper distinction between the true
objects of compassion and undeserving
In his business & employment in Life

Honest in his dealings
Punctual in the performance of his engagements
And faithful in his promises.
Who feels a wound the dying friend imparts
When the last pang divides two fond hearts.
