Hail, hallow'd vault, whose darksome caverns hold A frame, tho' mortal, of no common mould; A heart scarce sullied with a human flaw, Which shunn'd no duty and transgress'd no law; In joy still guarded, in distress serene, Through life a model of the golden mean, Which friendship only led him to transgress, Whose purer spirit sanctifies excess.
