Whose honour’d Patrons now lie low in earth;

Or borne by Fate far from their native shore,

With smiles auspicious glad my heart no more.

Here youth and beauty, innocence and love,

I joy’d to see, to serve, and to approve:

Here honour’d Age to all around did show,

That virtue’s paths alone can bliss bestow:

Here moral lessons spoke from ev’ry part,

And peace and kindness wrote them on my heart.

Hoary inhabitants around the place,
