Children are snatch'd away sometimes, <br />To punish Parents for their Crimes. <br />Thy Mother's Merit was so great, <br />Heav'n hasten'd thy untimely Fate, <br />To make her Character complete. <br />Tho' many Virtues fill'd her Breast, <br />'Twas Resignation crown'd the rest.<br /><br />Mary Barber<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-epitaph-on-the-late-lord-mount-cashel/
