In memory of
Maria Coues
(daughter of Peter & Rebecca Coues)
who died very ƒuddenly Septr 13th 1797
aged nine years
Soft as the balm, the gentle breeze diƒtills.
Sweet as the Fragrance of the new mown hills;
Her opining mind a thouƒand charms reveal'd
Proof of thoƒe thouƒand which were there conceal'd
The lovlieƒt Flower in Nature's Garden plac'd,
Permitted juƒt to bloom and pluck'd in haƒte
Angels beheld her ripe for joys to come,
??? ???? ??? command their Siƒter home.
