His Epitaph

Beneath this stone brave BRADDOCK Lies, Who always hated Cowardice, But fell a Savage Sacrifice; Amidst his Indian Foes. I Charge you, Heroes, of the Ground, To guard his dark Pavilion round; And keep off all obtruding Sound; And cherish his Repose.

Sleep, Sleep, I say, brave valiant Man, Bold Death at last has bid thee stand, And to resign thy great Command, And Cancel thy Commission: Altho' thou didst not much incline, Thy Post and Honours to resign; Now iron Slumber doth Confine; Now envy's thy Condition.
