The EPITAPH

by

Listen in the reader

Within this Hole his Body lies, His Soul is fled, the Lord knows where; See the glad Croud with joyful Eyes, Whilst each let's fall a chearful Tear; Let ev'ry Foot tread down this Clod, And willing Hands heap on the Clay; Oh! bury deep the sordid Sod, And lock it till the Judgment Day.
