First Line: Thy relicks, rowe, to this fair urn we trust
Last Line: What a whole thankless land to his denies.
Subject(s): Rowe, Nicholas (1674-1718); Westminster Abbey
Thy reliques, Rowe, to this fair urn we trust,
And sacred, place by Dryden's awful dust:
Beneath a rude and nameless stone he lies,
To which thy tomb shall guide inquiring eyes.
Peace to thy gentle shade, and endless Rest!
Blest in thy genius, in thy love too blest!
One grateful woman to thy fame supplies
What a whole thankless land to his denies.
