TRANSLATION[177:1]
OF A LATIN INSCRIPTION BY THE REV. W. L. BOWLES IN NETHER-STOWEY CHURCH
Depart in joy from this world's noise and strife To the deep quiet of celestial life! Depart!—Affection's self reproves the tear Which falls, O honour'd Parent! on thy bier;— Yet Nature will be heard, the heart will swell, 5 And the voice tremble with a last Farewell!
1797.
[The Tablet is erected to the Memory of Richard Camplin, who died Jan. 20, 1792.
'Lætus abi! mundi strepitu curisque remotus; Lætus abi! cæli quâ vocat alma Quies. Ipsa fides loquitur lacrymamque incusat inanem, Quæ cadit in vestros, care Pater, Cineres. Heu! tantum liceat meritos hos solvere Ritus, 5 Naturæ et tremulâ dicere Voce, Vale!']
