EPITAPH

TO THE MEMORY OF A WORTHY MAN,

_THE REV. MR. SLEEP_,

CURATE OF KINGSWEAR CHURCH, DEVON,

_Whose devotional Elocution was remarkably impregnated with soporific

Qualities_.

Reader! since Parson Sleep is gone,

And lies beneath yon humble stone,

Whene’er to Kingswear Church we go,

Holy the sabbath-day to keep

(Indeed ’tis right it should be so),

We never more shall go to _sleep_.
