Chapter 4

To the memory of Elizabeth, wife of William Brunsdon, who died Dec. 31, 1779, aged 101 years.

Freed from the sorrows, sickness, pain, and care, To which all breath-inspired clay is heir, The tend'rest mother, and the worthiest wife, Reaps the full harvest of a well-spent life. Here rest her ashes with her kindred dust-- Death's only conquest o'er the favoured just: Her soul in Christ the tyrant's power defied, And the _Saint_ triumphed when the woman died.

_In Amesbury Churchyard, Witts._

When sorrow weeps o'er virtue's sacred dust, Then tears become us, and our grief is just; Such cause had she to weep who gratefully pays This last sad tribute of her love and praise, Who mourns a sister and a friend combined, Where female softness met a manly mind: Mourns, but not murmurs--sighs, but not despairs-- Feels for her loss, but as a Christian bears.

COLBOURNE.
