Virtus post funera vivit. Must death divide us now, and close thine eyes? How shall I live, when thou art gone, to hear Our children’s cries? Look on, but spare your tears, forbear to weep: My death’s no death――in Christ a blessed sleep. O blessed Sleep to me! that art both free From sting of Death, and from Grave’s victory! O, Death, where’s now thy sting, or, Grave, thy power? My soul triumphs in Christ, my Saviour; Cease, then, your tears for me, who am in bliss―― Tho’ here intomb’d, my soul in Heaven is. Be sure always t’ observe old David’s song, And never trust that man that did me wrong. Survivors will be apt to act their part, And seek all means they can to break thy heart; But trust in God, and he will thee defend From all thine enemies: and love thy friend. Farewell, dear wife and children! Friends, adieu! Observe those friends whose promises prove true. I cannot account for this extraordinary epitaph. Near this tomb stands a handsome marble sarcophagus, erected over a stoned vault, with the following inscriptions: On the south side: In memory of Henry Davies, of Tredrea, Esq. a Lieutenant in the Cornwall Militia. He was a dutiful son, an affectionate brother, an obliging relation, a sincere friend, and in all repects a worthy gentleman. He died of the smallpox at London, December 10, 1760, aged 36, justly lamented by all his friends and acquaintance. * * * * * On the north side: Here lyeth interred the remains of John Davies, Gent. who departed this life May the 29th, 1737, in the 51st year of his age.

The Editor is desirous of preserving a short memorial to a relation, whose kindnesses to him were unceasing from infancy to the fifty-fifth year of his age; and to a servant whom he has ever regarded with gratitude as the one whose precepts and instructions he imbibed with the utmost pleasure and delight, and whose tales of the times of old remain deeply impressed upon his mind.
