In Memory of
Mrs. Martha Burrill
Wife of
Mr. Ebenezer Burrill
Who died
Nov. 6, 1814 Æt. 62.
"Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound,
My ears attend the cry,
Ye living men come view the ground,
Where you must shortly lie.
Princes, this clay must be your bed,
In spite of all you powers,
The tall, the wise, the rev'rend head,
Must lie as low as ours."
