EPITAPH,

WRIrrE BY MR. PRATT.

At 3eauty's Isle, her daughters niuu d-clare
She, who sleep. lure, was fairest of the fait !
Bur, ah! while NA' ure on her f.v'rite smil'd;
And G. • a share in reau!y.3 child:
Len 13 they wove a garland for her brow,
Scrrow prepar'd her willowy wrea'h of woe,
nightshade wiih the hud, of May,
And rurn'd her darkest cypress with a bay.
In mildew tears steep.d ev'ry op'ning flower,
Prey'd on the sweets, and gave the canker power !
Yut, oh! may Pity's Angel, from the grave
'the early victim of misfortune save;
And as she springs to everlasting morn,
May Glory's fadeless crown her soul adorn!
