Epitaph To The Memory Of A Worthy Man

Title:     Epitaph To The Memory Of A Worthy Man
Author: Sir John Carr [More Titles by Carr]

TO THE MEMORY OF A WORTHY MAN

THE REV. MR. SLEEP,

CURATE OF KINGSWEAR CHURCH, DEVON,

Whose devotional Elocution was
remarkably impregnated with soporific Qualities
.


Reader! since Parson Sleep is gone,
And lies beneath yon humble stone,
Whene'er to Kingswear Church we go,
Holy the sabbath-day to keep
(Indeed 'tis right it should be so),
We never more shall go to sleep.





[The end]
