HALE, ƒecond Paƒtor of the ƒecond
Church of Christ in this Town, who

In the dark caverns of the ƒilent Tomb,
The old, the young, the gay, all ages come.
Here lies interr'd the Prieƒt in ƒable urn;
Here meet his flock & each to duƒt return.
Theƒe iron gates no more ƒhall e'er be burƒt,
Till heav'ns ƒhall wake the ƒleeping duƒt,
And then Creations vast, immenƒe ƒhall rise,
And men with Angels throng th' etherial skies,
The God of Nature thus fron heav'n hath ƒpoke,
Nor Men nor Angels can his word revoke.
It muƒt be ƒo! then let my ƒoul reƒign,
And be prepared for his will divine.

And join the ƒaints above the ƒkies
To ƒing and triumph there.
