Death & Dying
For Mr. Thos. Forfitt, Aged 76
From Epitaphs · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)
Death & Dying
Of gracious riches full, and happy days,
A Christian here concludes his glorious race;
Disciple of a meek and lowly Lord,
He labour'd on, and long'd for his reward,
Till ripe for bliss, he laid his body down.
And faithful unto death, received the crown.
