| Jeremiah Scarborough, 1790, Brooklyn, CT |
Sic Trancit Gloria Mundi
In Memory of Dean.
Jeremiah Scarborough
who Died Novr. 20th
1790
in the 78th year of
his age.
What virtue once adorn'd
the Dust below,
The Rising day to all
the world will show
In clearer Characters,
than Sculpture'd stone
Could ever make his much
lov'd [merit?] known.
As far as Google can tell, this is an original verse. It's another example of an epitaph referencing the medium on which it is engraved.
