An EPITAPH.
POor Mortals! how can you once cast an EyeƲpon this Stone, and Grave wherein I lie?And not consider, that your Bodies mustWithin a while also be laid in Dust.
But that's not all, your Souls must then ascendTo God's Tribunal; where your final EndShall be determined; and you doom'd toA Place of everlasting Weal, or Wo.
And O! how happy they that shall obtainA Portion in those Mansions, which remainTo all Eternity; where they shall singTriumphant Allelujahs to their King!
But Wo, wo, wo, ten thousand Woes to thoseWho God forgot, and sinful Pleasures chose:For they in everlasting Flames must lie,And be tormented to Eternity.
Memento Mori. Learn this Lesson well:Think on the Joys of Heav'n, and Pains of Hell:Rouse from thy sinful Sloth, cast off thy Chains;Believe, Repent, and work while Time remains.
FINIS.
