By letters from Edinburgh, we have the following
inscription, taken from the monument of Mr. Lampe, the
celebrated master of musick, who lately died there.
Here lie the mortal remains of John Frederick Lampe, whose
harmonious compositions shall outlast monumental registers,
and melodious notes through future ages perpetuate his fame,
'till time shall sink into eternity. His taste for moral
harmony appeared through all his conduct: he was a most
loving husband, and affectionate father, friend and
companion. On the 25th day of July, 1751, in the 48th year
of his age, he was summoned to join that heavenly consort
with the blessed choir above, where his virtuous soul now
enjoys that harmony, which was his chief delight upon earth.
