An Epitaph on the late Lord Mount-Cashel
[ed.] "The second Viscount Mount Cashel died in 1719 aged 10." (Tucker [1992], 220) (AH)
.

1 Children are snatch'd away sometimes,
2 To punish Parents for their Crimes.
3 Thy Mother's Merit was so great,
4 Heav'n hasten'd thy untimely Fate,
5 To make her Character complete.
6 Tho' many Virtues fill'd her Breast,
7 'Twas Resignation crown'd the rest.
