Small Pox in the 50th year
of his Age.
-------
Ye hollow Tomb and deep dark Grave
Preserve the mouldering Clay
Till Jesus Comes to Call him hence
To Realms of brighter day.

The Widow Mourns the Children Weep
And friends do Drop their Teears
But faith b'holds the Imortal Soul
Above all moral Cares.

Behold the Saint arayd in White
Bending before the Throne
Exfolling __ and forever __ Grace.
