Grave
In memory of Mr. Caleb Packard, who departed this life May ye 27, 1783, in the 24th year of his age.
See here's the youth whose cheerful bloom
Promised a train of years to come;
Whose soft address and graceful air
Had obtained the yealding fair,
When fate divides, thro' exploded joy,
And all his flattering hopes destroy.
