ABSTRACT
Miscellany, 1730] When other Ladies to the Groves go down, Corinna still, and Fulvia stay in Town; Those Ghosts of Beauty ling'ring here reside, And haunt the Places where their Honour dy'd.
ISAACUS NEWTONIUS
This modest Stone what few vain Marbles can May truly say, here lies an honest Man. A Poet, blest beyond the Poet's fate, Whom Heav'n kept sacred from the Proud and Great. Foe to loud Praise, and Friend to learned Ease, S Content with Science in the Vale of Peace. Calmly he look'd on either Life, and here Saw nothing to regret, or there to fear; From Nature's temp'rate feast rose satisfy'd, Thank'd Heav'n that he had liv'd, and that he dy'd. 10
