O! may each mortal who reflects on this,

Shun ev'ry crime, and seek for future bliss,

For oft the death of wicked men does shew

Awful presages of eternal woe

But tho' we see the dupes of sin and sense,

Distracted much when God doth call them hence,

Let this great truth the righteous still solace,

"The latter end of the good man is peace,"
