William Cowper - On A Good Man (From The Greek)
Work rating: Low

Traveller, regret not me; for thou shalt find
Just cause of sorrow none in my decease,
Who, dying, children`s children left behind,
And with one wife lived many a year in peace;
Three virtuous youths espoused my daughters three,
And oft their infants in my bosom lay,
Nor saw I one of all derived from me,
Touch`d with disease, or torn by death away.
Their duteous hands my funeral rites bestow`d,
And me, by blameless manners fitted well
To seek it, sent to the serene abode
Where shades of pious men forever dwell.
