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.
