Parentibus Optimis bene

Merentibus

Zephaniah Leonard Esq who died
Apl the 23rd in the 63d year of his age
& Hannah his wife who died ye same day
in the 62d year of her age.

To dust and silence so much worth consigned
Sheds a sad gloom o'er vanities behind
Such our pursuits! proud mortals vainly soar,
See here the wise, the virtuous are no more.
How mean ambition! How contemptuous state
How dim the tinsel glories of the great
While even Leoanrds undistinguished Fall
and death and hovering darkness hide us all.
