BY MISS SEWARD,
OF LITCHFIELD.
SACRED
TO THE MEMORY OF
HILL BOOTHBY,
ONLY DAUGHTER OF
Brooke Boothby and Elizabeth Fitzherbert
HIS WIFE,
Born October 27th, 1708. Died January 16th, 1756.
Could Beauty, Learning, Talents, Virtue, save
From the dark confines of th'insatiate grave;
This frail memorial had not ask'd a tear,
O'er Hill's cold ashes, sadly mouldering here:
Friendship's chaste flame, her ardent bosom fired,
And bright Religion all her Soul inspired:
