Here stop awhile ; let pity draw 



The sympathizing tear, it old thou art prepare to die, 



If young — thyself in virtue train. 



Here lies a son, and only son and heir ; 



He lived admired, and while he lived, 



Him good and just we hoped to see, 



But death our hopes deceived. 



Here all our joy and comfort lies; 



Here lies our only darling son — 



He fell to death a sacrifice, 



Scarce had his glass began to run : 



His soul is flown to mansions of the just — 



To that great God in whom we weep and trust. 



Here Lteth the Body of 



SARAH LADAU, born in the year 1750,
