An honest man here lies ct rest
AZ e'er God with his image blest,
The friend of man, the friend of truth
The friend of age, and guide Of youth
Few hearts like his with virtue warmd,
Few heads with knowledge 80 informed
If there's another world. he lives in bliss
If there is none, he made the best of this.
