Stop, Christian Passer-by! -- Stop, child of God, And read with gentle breast. Beneath this sod A poet lies, or that which once seem'd he. O, lift one thought in prayer for S.T.C.; That he who many a year with toil of breath Found death in life, may here find life in death! Mercy for praise -- to be forgiven for fame He ask'd, and hoped, through Christ. Do thou the same!
