The next is a memorial to an authoress, who was the most popular of her day, and whose pieces were the delight of London. To-day, she is only remembered by book-worms and antiquaries:—
MRS. APHRA BEHN,
Dyed April 16,
A.D. 1689.
Here lies a proof that Wit can never be
Defence enough against Mortality.
This lady was the authoress of many dramatic pieces—all as dead as their author.
The Wesley family are represented in this:—
NUTTY, SUSANNA,
URSULA, SAMUEL,
WESLEY.
1725, 1726, 1727, 1731.
Infant children of
Samuel Wesley,
Brother of John Wesley.
The British merchant was honored, as well as the British soldier:—
SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF
JONAS HANWAY,
who departed this life September 5, 1786, aged 74,
but whose name liveth, and will ever live,
whilst active Piety shall distinguish
The Christian.
Integrity and Truth shall recommend
The British Merchant.
And universal Kindness shall characterize
The Citizen of the World.
The helpless Infant natur’d thro’ his care:
The friendless Prostitute sheltered and reformed;
The hopeless Youth rescu’d from Misery and Rum,
And trained to serve and to defend his country,
Uniting in one common strain of gratitude,
Bear testimony to their Benefactors’ virtues—
This was the Friend and Father of the Poor.
