Receiv’d the wealthy, and reliev’d the poor.
Adorn’d with ev’ry virtue, ev’ry grace
Which nature e’er bestow’d on human race.
Through a long life, example bright thou shone!
By all belov’d:—Now each regrets thou’rt gone!
Thy suff’rings here were weigh’d; nor shall thy death
Be more than ceasing of thy mortal breath;
Thy Master calls, ripe for thy Master’s joy,
Where love and bliss, the upright mind employ.
Speak ye, who knew him best, what man can say,
