Epitaph: On the Rev. Mr. Cookson, Vicar of Leeds
Wrapt in cold clay beneath this marble lies
What once was generous, eloquent, and wise,
A genius form'd in every light to shine,
A well-bred scholar, and a sage divine;
An orator in every art refin'd,
To teach, to animate and mend mankind:
The wise and good approv'd the life he led,
And, as they lov'd him living, mourn him dead.
What once was generous, eloquent, and wise,
A genius form'd in every light to shine,
A well-bred scholar, and a sage divine;
An orator in every art refin'd,
To teach, to animate and mend mankind:
The wise and good approv'd the life he led,
And, as they lov'd him living, mourn him dead.
