An Epitaph

A Heart to Mercy as to Zeal inclin'd,
As well a gentle as a prudent Mind;
Still free to pardon, cautious to offend
A tender Parent and a faithful Friend.
All Parts perform'd, she willingly withdrew,
Turn'd from the World, and bid her Friends adieu.
Ah thou! (if Spirits or regard or know
The Sigh of Friendship or a Daughter's Woe)
Mix'd with those Tears that wash the sacred Shrine,
Accept the Tribute of a grateful Line.
