In memory of
BENJAMIN BANGS, ESQ
who died
march 9, 1814
AET 56.
Cold in the dust this perish'd heart must lie
But that which warmed it shall never die
That shall resist the triumph of decay
When time is o'er and worlds are pass'd away
Shall beam on Joy's interminable years
Unveil'd by darkness - unassuag'd by tears.
