Epitaph IV

PROBUS beneath in peaceful Slumber lies;
PROBUS, the just, the active, and the wise.
His manly Frame contain'd an equal Mind,
Faithful to GOD, and gen'rous to Mankind.
High in his Country's Honours long he stood,
Succour'd Distress, and gave the Hungry Food.
In Friendship steady, in Devotion warm,
A loyal Subject, and a Patriot firm.
Thro' ev'ry Age his dauntless Soul was try'd,
Great while he liv'd, but greater when he dy'd.
