To the Memory of

Miss DOROTHEA DIAS DE FARIA,

who departed this Life the 26 June 1772 who was unfortunately drowned in the fifth year of her age.

Soft as the balm the gentlest gale distills;
Sweet as the Fragrance of the new-mown hills,
Her opening mind a thousand charms reveal'd;
Proof of those thousands which were yet conceal'd,
The loveliest flower in nature's garden placed
Permitted just to bloom, and plucked in haste.
Angels beheld her ripe for joys to come,

And call'd, by God's command, their sister home.

Here lyeth the body of

Mrs. ISABELLA MARTIN,
Who departed this Life

the 29th Dec 1773

Aged 74 years

Requiescat in pace.

Have mercy upon me O God

According to thy great mercy.
