ON A YOUNG LADY. By Richard Savage, Esq. CLOS'D are those eyes that beam'd seraphic fire, No prude e'er thought impure, no friend unkind. Nor can she die-E'en now survives her name, BARKING, ESSEX. ON THOMAS HUMPHREY, Ob. February 17, 1765, Æ. 75, and Ob. September 24, 1757, Æ. 63. ENOUGH, cold stone, suffice their long-lov'd name; ! HENRY MARTEN, Lived to the advanced age of seventy-eight, and died by a stroke of apoplexy, which seized him while at dinner, in the twentieth year of his confinement.* He was buried in the chancel of the parish church at CHEPSTOW. His Epitaph, composed by himself, is in these words : Here September the 9th, in the year of our Lord 1680, Who in Barkshire was well known To love his country's freedom, 'bove his own: Here or elsewhere (all's one to you, to me) My life was spent with serving you, and you, To birds of prey leave my old cage, and fly. *He was one of the regicides in the time of Charles the First, and was found guilty, but his enmity to Cromwell, and surrender on the proclamation, were justly urged by his friends as motives for pardon; which he obtained, on condition of perpetual imprisonment. He was first confined in the Tower; but soon removed to the Castle of Chepstow, at which place he died. Inscribed on a Pillar lately erected in the midst of a heap of stones, on the side of the highway in the North of England. By the Lord of the Manor. STAY, Traveller, stay, and peruse a sad story; To give the world notice, that under these stones, DUNDALK, IN IRELAND. ON ROBERT MOORE. HERE lies the body of Robert Moore, Who kill'd himself by eating, of curds: ST. FLAVIAN'S, BY MOUNT FIASCONE. EST. EST. EST. PPR. NIUM. EST. HIC. JO. DE. FLEC. D. MEUS, MORTUS. EST. THIS is on the tomb of a German prelate, who was no enemy to the bottle; for in travelling it appears he always sent his steward forward to taste the wines of the several inns upon the road: if tole rably good the major-domo was to chalk upon the door, in capitals, the Latin word est (it is); if very good he was to write est, est, and the bishop had ever full reason to be content with his steward's superlative taste. Being arrived at Monte Fiascone, the steward found the Muscadel wine so delicious, that he did not scruple to triple the est, and the bishop so coincided in his taster's opinion, that, from an inordinate devotion to it, he died in a few days. He bequeathed 10,000 crowns to the hospital there, on condition that on Whitsunday they should an nually give, to all persons who might come for it, as much Muscadel wine and bread as they could eat and drink at a meal. There is a handsome monument, with a figure of the bishop, in his pontifical vestments, mitre, crosier, &c. and on each side of his effigies there are two escutcheons—and as many drinking glasses! ON A YOUNG STUDENT IN OXFORD. SHORT was thy life, Yet livest thou ever; IN HADLEIGH CHURCH, SUFFOLK. To free me from domestic strife, Death call'd at my house-but he spoke with my wife. Stop, Reader! and if not in a hurry, shed a tear. ON HENRY SMYTH, Esq. Commonly known by the name of Dog Smyth.

And at his death, for the same charitable purpose, gave to Richmond and Ryegate £. 1000 each; to Wandsworth, the place of his birth, .500. To redeem captives and prisoners from the Turkish tyranny £.1000, with the greatest part of his estate to different parishes in the same county, МІТСНАМЕХcepted, the reason of its exclusion seems to have been, that he was whipt in that town as a vagrant, by which it would appear that his parents were but of low and mean origin. By his habitation in Silver Street, London, many have thought him of that profession; but by an inscription in GREAT BOOKHAM CHURCHYARD, SURRY, he is called citizen and salter of |
