Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEF GHIH JKLK| Bring the sad cypress wreath to grace the tomb | A |
| Where rests the liberal friend of human kind | B |
| Around its base let deathless flow'rets bloom | A |
| Wet with the off'rings of the grateful mind | B |
| - | |
| Firm was thy friendship ardent and sincere | C |
| Gen'rous thy soul to ev'ry suff'rer prov'd | D |
| Rest sainted shade blest with the heart felt tear | E |
| On earth lamented and in heaven belov'd | F |
| - | |
| Now will the widow weep that thou art gone | G |
| Who oft her unprotected babes hast fed | H |
| While tottering age shall heave the sigh forlorn | I |
| As slow they move to beg their bitter bread | H |
| - | |
| Long shall the memory of thy worth survive | J |
| Grav'd on the heart when sinks the trophied stone | K |
| Oh may the plenty bless'd as freely give | L |
| And from thy life of virtue form their own | K |
