Burial

"Inscriptions from the old burying ground, Lynn, Mass." by Moulder, 1868, p. 29:
Here lyes buried the body of the Honorable John Burrill Esq. who died Decem'br 10th Anno Christi, MDCCXXI AEtatis LXIV [64 yrs].
Alas! our patron's dead! The country--court--
The church--in tears, all echo the report;
Grieved that no piety, no mastering sense,
No counsel, gravity, no eloquence,
No generous temper, gravitating to
Those honors, which they did upon him throw,
Could stay his fate, or their dear Burrill save
From a contagious sickness and the grave.
The adjacent towns this loss reluctant bear,
But widowed Lynn sustains the greatest share:
Yet joys in being guardian of his dust
Until the resurrection of the just.
