Here you will find thePoemInscription For The Tomb Of Mr. Hamiltonof poet William Cowper
Pause here, and think; a monitory rhyme Demands one moment of thy fleeting time. Consult life's silent clock, thy bounding vein; Seems it to say --'Health here has long to reign?' Hast thou the vigour of thy youth? an eye That beams delight? a heart untaught to sigh? Yet fear! Youth ofttimes healthful and at ease, Anticipates a day it never sees; And many a tomb, like Hamilton's, aloud Exclaims, 'Prepare thee for an early shroud!'
