Dublin.

These notes remind my parishioners of an epitaph on a child in Morwenstow

churchyard:

"Those whom God loves die young!

They see no evil days;

No falsehood taints their tongue,

No wickedness their ways!

"Baptized, and so made sure

To win their blest abode;

What could we pray for more?

They die, and are with God!"
