On Mr. Thomas Strong, Who Died on the 26th of December, 1736
WHO DIED ON THE 26TH OF DECEMBER, 1736 .
I N action prudent, and in word sincere,
In friendship faithful, and in honour clear;
Through life's vain scenes the same in every part,
A steady judgment, and an honest heart.
Thou vaunt'st no honours — all thy boast a mind
As infants guileless, and as angels kind.
When ask'd to whom these lovely truths belong,
Thy friends shall answer, weeping, " Here lies Strong ."
