AN HONEST man here lies at rest
As e'er God with his image blest;
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so informed:
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.

MRS S M JACKETT: Thanks for this, reminded me of my childhood reading books
MRS S M JACKETT: Thanks for giving this poem space.
I've been reading old diaries of my girlhood 1960 where it mentions this epitaph.
I thought i had it wrong, so thanks very much. Sue
