EPITAPH ON A LAWYER.

The following inscription is taken from a tomb in St. Pancras churchyard,
Middlesex. It is a flat stone, which some years since lay even with the
ground, but was, about 1815, raised on a few tier of bricks, (to prevent
obliteration by footsteps,) by order of the church-wardens, as I was
informed by the grave-digger, and which, no doubt, was done on account of
the singularity of the lines. The situation of the tomb is not far from the
east corner of the church, a little beyond a lofty tomb with a monument.
The inscription, from time, has been much defaced, and the verse is not
easily made out by a stranger; but I have recollected it since about the
year 1778, when it was very perfect. I saw the same in 1817, and took a
copy as under:--

"This stone is inscribed to the memory of Mr. Thomas Abbott, of Swaffham,
in the county of Norfolk, attorney-at-law, who died lamented by his
friends, (enemies he had none,) after a painful and tedious illness, which
he bore with patience, resignation, and fortitude becoming a man. Departed
this life August the 16th, Anno Domini 1762, aged 48."

"Here lieth one, (believe it if you can,)
Who, though an attorney, was an honest man.
The gates of heaven for him shall open wide,
But will be shut against all the tribe beside."

A celebrated gunaiphilist having asked a friend with whom he was walking,
if the woman they had just met was not very _passable_, the other replied,
"Undoubtedly she was, or I had never _got by her_, while you were with me
at least."
