O ye whose cheek the tear of pity stains, / Draw near with pious rev'rence, and attend! / Here lie the loving husband's dear remains, / The tender father, and the gen'rous friend; / The pitying heart that felt for human woe, / The dauntless heart that fear'd no human pride; / The friend of man-to vice alone a foe; / For "ev'n his failings lean'd to virtue's side.
