Pensive hast follow'd to the silent tomb:
Steer'd the same course, to the same quiet sbore,
Not parted long and now to part no more:

Go where to love, and to enjoy are one.
Yet take these tears, mortailty's relies.
And till we share your joys forgive our grief:
These little rites, a stone, a verse receive.
