Inscription on a Stone
Elegiac Sonnets, and Other Poems, Volume 2, The Second Edition
WHATE'ER of praise, and of regret attendThe grateful Servant, and the humble friend,Where strict integrity and worth uniteTo raise the lowly in their Maker's sight,Are her's; whose faithful service, long approved,Wept by the Mistress whom thro' life she loved.Here ends her earthly task; in joyful trustTo share the eternal triumph of the Just.
