The Light his Life has ceas'd to give,
Will ev'n in his example live :

And Memory's grateful Incense burn,
Diffufing Radiance from his Urn!

MEM SAC:

MATT. DISNEY-ARCHIB. BRAKENRIDGE.

SPIRITS!-long loos'd from mortal care!—

If haply down your fields of air

A momentary glance ye cast,

And fee a lonely lingerer stray

Thro' paths, where oft in prankful play,
With you his younger foot hath past!

Accept the fudden tear, that fteals
Along his cheek.-For fure he feels

The genuine impulfe of the Mufe ;
Who leading Memory back to you,

Friends as ye were !-reminds him too,
What Friends himself was doom'd to lose!

GODSTOW, JULY 12, 1775.

EPITAPH ON MRS. HAND,

IN THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. GILES,
CRIPPLEGATE.

FOR worth fo dear, th' eternal tear might flow;
And Love would fanctify an Husband's Woe:
But Truth the record of that Worth displays,
And takes from Sorrow, what it gives to Praise:
Alternate claims his grateful heart divide;
And Memory's Mifery is Affection's Pride.

INSCRIPTION,

DESIGNED FOR A BATH,

AT THE ROOKERY NEAR WOTTON IN SURRY.

THOU, VIRGIN HEALTH! who turn'ft with fcorn

away

From Luxury's lure, and Riot's rude affault, To crown the genuine joy of Labour's day, Or feaft with Temperance in the moss-grown vault,

Wilt oft henceforth, if right of thee we deem,

When Hope fhall HERE her azure pinions lave, Afcend propitious with the bubbling ftream,

And love to greet her in fo pure a wave.
