This simple urn records a name,

That shines with more exalted fame.

Reader! if genius, taste refin'd,

A native elegance of mind;

If virtue, science, manly sense;

If wit that never gave offence;

The clearest head, the tend'rest heart,

In thy esteem e'er claim'd a part;

Ah! smite thy breast, and drop a tear;

For know, thy Shenstone's dust lies here,
