Entombed below in each other's arms,
The husband and the wife repose,
Safe from life’s never ending storms,
And safe from all their cruel foes….
A child of evil fate she lived,
A villain's wiles her peace had crossed;
The husband of her heart revived
The happiness she long had lost.
He heard her tale of matchless wee,
And burning for revenge he rose,
And laid her base seducer low,
And struck dismay to Virtue's foes
Reader, if Honor's generous blood
E'er warmed thy breast, here drop a tear,
And let the sympathetic flood
Deep in thy mind the traces bear.
A father or a mother thou,
Thy daughters view in grief's despair,
Then turn and see the villain low,
And here let fall the grateful tear.
A brother or a sister thou,
Dishonored see this sister dear;
Then turn and see the villain low,
And here let fall the grateful tear.
Daughter of Virtue moist thy tear,
This tomb of love and honor claim;
For thy defense the husband here
Laid down in youth his life and fame.
His wife disdained a life forlorn,
Without her heart'sloved honored lord;
Then, reader, here their fortunes mourn,
Who for their love their life blood poured.
