William Cowper - Lines, Composed For A Memorial Of Ashley Cowper, Esq.

Farewell! endued with all that could engage br All hearts to love thee, both in youth and age! br In prime of life, for sprightliness enrolled br Among the gay, yet virtuous as the old; br br In life's last stage, (O blessings rarely found!) br Pleasant as youth with all its blossoms crowned! br Through every period of this changeful state br Unchanged thyself -- wise, good, affectionate! br br Marble may flatter, and lest this should seem br O'ercharged with praises on so dear a theme, br Although thy worth be more than half supprest, br Love shal be satisfied, and veil the rest.
