Here blameless pair with mild affections blest,
Belov'd, respected, much lamented, rest:
Life's shelter'd vale secure in peace ye trod,
Your practice virtue, your reliance God.
Long days, long love, indulgent Heaven bestow'd,
And sweet content to gild your calm abode;
Friends who through life their faith unalter'd kept,
Children who loved, who honour'd and who wept.
Heroes and Kings, life's little pageant o'er,
Might wish their trophied Marbles told no more.
