SOLILOQUY ON THE DEATH OF A FRIEND.
. . . [4 lines in Latin, by Horace]
Vain are the sculptur'd honours of the tomb, 
And vain the flattering monumental verse.
The verse or breathing marble's longest date, 
Is but a point of some few centuries, 
A trifling, sounding, cozening, empty nothing.
. . . [31 more lines]
