Epitaph on Claude Phillips

An Itinerant Musician

Phillips! whose touch harmonious could remove
  The pangs of guilty power and hapless love,
  Rest here; distress’d by poverty no more,
  Find here that calm thou gav’st so oft before;
  Sleep undisturb’d within this peaceful shrine,
  Till angels wake thee with a note like thine.
