| Notes |
"Take holy Earth: All that my soul holds dear: Take that best gift which Heav'n so lately gave: To Bristol's fount I bore with trembling care Her faded form: She bow'd to taste the wave, and died-does youth, does beauty read the line? Does sympathetic fear their breast alarm? Speak dead MARIA: Breath a strain divine, Ev'n from the grave thou shalt have power to charm. Bid them be chaste, be innocent like thee, Bid them in duty's sphere as meekly move, And if so fair, from vanity as free, As firm in friendship, and as fond in love. Tell them, tho tis an awful thing to die (Twas ev'n to thee) yet the dread path once trod, Heav'n lifts its everlasting portals high, And bids the pure in heart behold their God. Underneath this stone doth lie, As much virtue as cou'd die, which when alive did vigour give, To as much beauty as cou'd live."
