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.

His latest paths.  So will that God who all
His sins absolv'd, forgive thee thine;. . . [2 more lines,
signed]  May 14, 1772.  Jonathan Britain.
