At the desire of several ladies, the following extraordinary
character is inserted here, taken from the Boston Evening
Post of February 19.
Last Wednesday morning died at Cambridge, and on Friday was
decently inter'd, Miss Elizabeth Epes, daughter to the late
Honourable Symonds Epes, Esq; of Ipswich . . . [36 lines,
describing her exemplary character]
Song, beauty, youth, love, virtue, joy! this group
Of bright ideas, flow'rs of paradise,
As yet unforfeit! in one blaze we bind,
Kneel, and present it to the skies; as all
We guess of heav'n: and these were all her own.
. . . [5 more lines]
