An EPITAPH on Dr. JOHN FRIEND, the Physician, who died in 1728

Here lie the bones of Dr. Friend Once thought an honest man; But who can tell before the end, Tho' life is but a span?

To be physician to a Queen Was all his chief ambition, Which made him quit poor Clementeen For her who rules in Britain. Now mark the end of avarice and pride; His reputation crack'd, and then he died.
