Here lieth interr'd the body of PHILEMON LLOYD, second son of Col. EDWARD LLOYD II and SARAH COVINGTON his wife,
who died March the 5th 1729, aged 20 Years 11 months and 5 days
When Parents by their tender care and pains
Have rais'd their offspring to Maturity
And then expect to reap the Jofyful Gains
Of their Assistance and posterity
Grim death appears and crops ye blooming flowers
And turns their joyful hopes to sudden grief
Against this frail undertain state of ours
What thought can shield or give us some relief
Why only this that God's entirely good
And governs all things by his providence
Then all that happens must be understood
His goodness and his wisdom did dispens
The we frail creatures can not comprehend
the great designs of his Eternal Will
Yet we may certainly on this depend
That all is for good and nothing ill.
