_Epitaph in Ireland._--The following lines were transcribed by me, and form

part of an epitaph upon a tombstone or mural slab, which many years past

was to be found in (if I mistake not) the churchyard of Old Kilcullen, co.

Kildare:

"Ye wiley youths, as you pass by,

Look on my grave with weeping eye:

Waste not your _strenth_ before it blossom,

For if you do _yous_ will _shurdley_ want it."
