Beneath this little length of Stone

In Peace a Child is laid

How soon cut off ! Just seen and known

Just blooming and decay'd

Thy Parents' Joy, their chiefest care

Rest in thy Urn secure

They only know the Grief they hear

For they alone endure :

In Death secur'd, from Woes retir'd

In Innocence now rest

What made thee here to be admir'd

In Heav'n now makes thee Blest
