An INSCRIPTION on the TOMB, Raised to the memory of the Author's father, and of others his ancestors

Unmark'd by trophies of the great and vain, Here sleeps in silent tombs a gentle train. No folly wasted their paternal store, No guilt, no sordid av'rice made it more; With honest fame, and sober plenty crown'd, They liv'd, and spread their cheering influence round. May he whose hand this pious tribute pays, Receive a like return of filial praise!
