Consort of the REV. TIMOTHY UPHAM,
Who departed this life Aug. 4, 1797,
In the 44th Year of her Age,"
"If truth, love, virtue, each attractive grace
That warms the heart, or animates the face.
If tears, or sighs, or ardent prayers could save
The kind, the generous from the silent grave.
Then death, relentless, must have lost his prey.
And with it lost his cruel power to slay
One who shall rise and shine in realms ahoz'e,
Forever happy in her Saviour s Inh-r E. C. \V.
