An Epitaph
Great King of Terrors, where are now thy stings
Whre new thy Conquest,all devouring Grave.
O'er both the virgin soul triumants sings,
Thro' him who suffer'd to Redeem and Save.
The Prince of Mercy bids the Virgin rise,
From Earths vain transport and corrodingcare;
On Seraph's Wings she views Superior Skies
And 'sociates with the best lov'd Angels there
Caps and lc, Roman and italic, several typos & inefficiently set out.
1771
