INSCRIPTION

[Note:] On a Stone, in the Church-Yard at BOREHAM, in ESSEX; raised by
the Honourable ELIZABETH OLMIUS, to the Memory of ANN
GARDNER, who died at NEW HALL, after a faithful Service of
Forty Years.

WHATE'ER of praise, and of regret attend
The grateful Servant, and the humble friend,
Where strict integrity and worth unite
To raise the lowly in the Maker's sight,
Are her's; whose faithful service, long approved,
Wept by the Mistress whom thro' life she loved.
Here ends her early task; in joyful trust
To share the eternal triumph of the Just.
