TOMBSTONE INSCRIPTION by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "SILENT THE LYRE, AND DUMB THE TUNEFUL TONGUE"
Last Line: "BUT NOW IN HEAVEN SHE JOINS THE ANGELIC SONG, / IN MORE HARMONIOUS, MORE EXALTED LAYS"
Subject(s): "STEELE, ANNE;"
Silent the lyre, and dumb the tuneful tongue,
That sung on earth her great Redeemer's praise;
But now in heaven she joins the angelic song,
In more harmonious, more exalted lays.
