The tender Mother, and the virtuous Wife,
The pious Christian, and the Friend sincere,
All, shone conspicuous, in my Mary’s Life;
Whose Relicks find a peaceful Mansion here.
 
The Charms of Person, transient Graces! fade
And earthly Happiness, but dawns, and flies,
Yet by the Good, when Nature’s debt is paid,
The Soul immortal, into Bliss shall rise.

If ever blooming Youth the Stone survey,
Or if it meet a thoughtful Parent’s Eye,
Reflect and think, how short is Beauty’s day
Ah! Give to true Maternal-Worth, a Sigh!

Pause, serious Reader, Pause upon this Tomb,
And mark that early Age of thirty-one,
Behold! Th’untimely Night of Death may come
Before the Noon of human Life be gone.
