Inscription


In Memory of Corn.t
ABRAHAM RICE
who departed this Life
in a sudden and Awful
manner and as we (truft entr?)
a better June 3d Anno-Do
1777 in the 81st Year of
his Age.

My trembling Heart with grief overflows,
While I record the death of those
Who died by Thunder sent from Heven
In seventeen hundred and seventy seven.
Let's all prepare for Judgments Day,
As we may be called out of Time,
And in a sudden and awful way,
While in our youth and in our Prime.
