POETRY. EPITAPH after the manner of Gray, by the late Dr . Doddridge. HERE rests fccure, within this narrow cell, A youth to pain ant! disappointment known; Pride mock’d his birth, and envy ftnil’d to tel! Hie hour when sorrow mark’d him for her own. Fix d on il one” was his foul sincere; But Heav’n the recompencc of love denied f Long hov’ring o’er the extremes of hope and fear, Opprefs’d by fate he funk, defpar’d and dy’d ! Ho farther seek his mis’ries to disclose, Not-let pale envy trample on his tomb Here let hia hapless head repose, And leave to mercy and to God his Doom.
