When sin and death have done their work,
Christ hath a glory like his own
That waits to clothe their sleeping dust.

____

To the honored and beloved memory
of a Revolutionary Patriot
A servant of his country in its highest trusts
A friend to his country in its darkest hours,
An eloquent orator, a practical statesman,
A dutiful son, an affectionate husband
this monument is erected by his mourning widow
CAROLINE LANGDON
He hastened to his country's service on the
eventful morning of the 19th of April 1775,
And within the precincts hallowed by blood,
which was shed that day,
After an honorable and useful life,
he rests in peace and hope
comformably to his last wish
by his mother's side.
