EPITAPH ON JONATHAN BRITAIN.
Written by himself the day before his execution.
When thou art told-- "here Britain's ashes lies"
Suppress thy censure, thou thyself art frail.
Wou'd thou avoid a fall like this? then tread
His latest paths.  So will God who all
His sins absolv'd, forgive thee thine; and crown
Thy end like his, with everlasting peace.
[signed] Jonathan Britain.
