While flattering praises from oblivion
save,
The rich, and splendour decorates the
grave,
Let this plain stone, O Harrison, proclaim
Thy humble fortune and thy honest fame.
In work unwearied, labour knew no end—
In all things faithful, everywhere a friend;
Herself forgot, she toiled with generous
zeal,
And knew no interest but her master’s
weal.
’Midst the rude storms that shook
his ev’ning day,
No wealth could bribe her, and no power
dismay;
Her patrons’ love she dwelt on e’en
in death,
And dying, blest them with her latest
breath.
She departed this life June 19, 1797. Aged 50 years.
Farewell, thou best of servants—may
the tear
That sorrow trickled o’er thy parting
bier,
Prove to thy happy shade our fond regard,
And all thy virtues find their full reward.
