EPITAPH ON MR. CHESTER, OF CHICHELEY, by WILLIAM COWPERPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: Tears flow, and cease not, where the good man lies Last Line: As husband, parent, brother, master, friend.
TEARS flow, and cease not, where the good man lies, Till all who know him follow to the skies. Tears therefore fall where CHESTER'S ashes sleep; Him wife, friends, brothers, children, servants, weep; And justly--few shall ever him transcend As husband, parent, brother, master, friend.
