Thy morning flow'r has dropt its drooping head,
And thou art numbered now among the dead;
Rest precious dust, till heav'n thy worth reveal,
Thy judge will publish, what thy friends conceal.

ON JANE ROY,
Aged 15 months.

Early remov'd from bleak misfortunes pow'r,
Secure from storms, here rests a tender flow'r ;
Sleep on sweet babe, high heav'n's all gracious king,
Hath to eternal summer chang'd thy spring.

ANN MONDAY,

Died, 2d December, 1812; aged 29 years.

My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound;
Then burst the chains with sweet surprize,
And in my Saviour's image rise.

IN MEMORY OF

MRS, CATHARINE HENBEST,

Died, 25th July, 1794; aged 72 years.

Blame not this monumental stone we raise,
"Tis to the Saviour, not the sinner's praise;
Sin was the whole that she could call her own,
Her good was all deriv'd from Him alone.
To sin, her conflicts, pains and griefs she ow'd,
Her conquering faith and patience he bestow'd;
Reader may thou obtain, like precious faith,
To smile in anguish and rejoice in death.

Also of

JOHN HENBEST,

Died, 5th March, 1803; aged 74.

They died in Jesus' and are blest,
How soft their slumbers are,
From suff'ring and from sin releas'd,
And freed from every snare.
Far from this world of toil and strife,
They're present with the Lord,
The labours of their mortal life
End in a large reward.

ON MR. FINDLAY, AND FAMILY.

To record their virtues here, would be a vain attempt, But know, oh reader! they are registered elsewhere.

JOHN SEEX,

Died, 1818; aged 38 years.

Here lieth waiting for immortal life,
The tender husband of a loving wife;

Good was his heart, and in his friendship sound,
Patient in pain, and lov'd by all around;
His pains are o'er, his grief for ever done,
A life of everlasting joy, he's now begun.

IN MEMORY OF

MR. CHARLES RICHARD,

Died, 20th May, 1809; aged 50.

How lov'd, how valu'd once, avails thee not,
To whom related, or by whom begot ;
A lump of dust, alone remains of thee,
'Tis all thou art, or all the proud shall be.

РОРЕ.

ON AN INFANT.

Dear prattling child to all our hearts most dear, Long shall we bathe thy memory with a tear; Farewell! too promising on earth to dwell, Sweetest of fondlings, best of babes farewell.

IN MEMORY OF

MRS. MARGARET SHAW,

Died, 5th May, 1816; aged 53.

Think of her fate, revere the heav'nly hand,
That led her hence, at length by steps so slow;
Long at her couch, death took his patient stand,
And menaced oft, and oft with-held the blow.

MRS. ELIZA ROBERTS,

Died, 1796; aged 51 years.

My dear Redeemer is above,

Him I am gone to see,

And all my friends in Christ below,

Shall soon come after me.

JOHN MAYHEW,

Aged 28 years; died, 1818.

A pleasing mind, a just and generous heart,
A good companion, honest without art;
Just in his dealings, faithful to his friend,
Belov'd thro' life, lamented in his end.

IN MEMORY OF

MR. JOHN YATES,

Died, 20th July, 1807 ; aged 32 years.

Taught by affliction, in his vig'rous youth,
To quit dark error for enlighten'd truth;
His chasten'd spirit meekly kiss'd the rod,
And fled with pious hope to meet his God.

MRS. ELIZABETH JORDAN,

Died, 31st January, 1781; aged 69.

She was an affectionate wife, a kind companion, And a faithful friend, her liberal hand Aided by her benevolent heart,

Was ever ready to comfort the distressed, And ease the sorrows of pining want, Which gained her the esteem of all who knew her.

MRS. ANN, Wife of CAPTAIN SAMSON,

Faithfulness, virtue and modesty,

Are the noblest ornaments of a wife, In commemoration of which this stone was Erected by him who lives to lament his loss.
