MEMORIAL,

NEAR THE OUTLET OF THE LAKE OF THUN.

"DEM
ANDENKEN
MEINES FREUNDES
ALOYS REDING
MDCCCXVIII.

Around a wild and woody hill
A gravelled path-way treading,
We reached a votive Stone that bears
The name of Aloys Reding,6

Well judged the Friend who placed it there
For silence and protection,
And haply with a finer care
Of dutiful affection.
