On Mifs Kitty Congreve.

Here Congreve lies, who too untimely fell;
But what he was a Congreve's Muse should tell:
And had the Bard by Blood fo near ally'd

Mourn'd o'er her Tomb in Verse that ne'er had
dy'd,

Her matchlefs Worth his foaring Wings had

try'd.

In all the Bloom of Youth fhe met her Death,
Yet calm as hoary Age refign'd her Breath.
Prepar'd by Virtue for her bleft Remove-
There fure to find what's only found above,-
Friendship fincere, and Peace, and conftant Love.

In mournful Songs to wail thy Fate,
