An Epitaph of Pope's.

The following epitaph was highly
commended by Johnson. 1t was writ
ten to keep alive the memory of Eliza
beth Corbett, who sleeps now in ST.
Margaret's, Westminster:
Here rests woman, good without pretense.
Blest with plain reason and with sober sense
No conquest she but FER herself desired;
No arts essayed. but not to be admired.
Passion ar pride were to her soul unknown,
Convinced that virtue only Is our own:
SO unaffected, so composed n mind,
SO firm, yet soft; so strong, yet 80 refined,

The saint sustained it, but the woman died .
