The transcript of a long unblemish'd life	B
Replete with happiness and holiness	C
Is a fair page to look upon with love	D
In this world's volume oft defaced by sin	E
And marr'd with misery And he who laid	F
His earthly vestments down this day doth leave	G
Such tablet for the heart	H
'Twas good to see	I
That what he preach'd to others he portray'd	F
Before them in example that the eye	J
Adding its stronger comment to the ear	K
Might lend new impulse to the flock he led	L
Toward the Great Shepherd's fold	M
	-

	-
Along his path	N
Sorrows he met but such as wrought him gain	O
And joys that made not weak his hold on heaven	P
But touch'd his brow with sunbeams and his heart	H
With warmer charity	I
Year after year	Q
Home's duties and its hospitalities	I
Were blent with cheerfulness and when the chill	R
Of hoary Time approach'd he took no part	H
In that repulsive criticism of age	S
Pronouncing with a frown the former days	I
Better than these	I
The florid glow that tints	I
The cheek of health which youth perchance accounts	I
Its own peculiar beauty dwelt with him	T
Till more than fourscore years and ten achiev'd	U
Their patriarch circle while the pleasant smile	V
And genial manner casting light around	W
His venerable age conspired to make	X
His company desirable to all	Y
	-
And so beloved on earth and waited for	Z
Above he closed this mortal pilgrimage	A2
In perfect peace	I
