ENGRAVEN ON THREE SIDES OF AN ANTIQUE
LAMP, GIVEN BY ME TO LORD HARLEY.

ANTIQUAM hanc lampadem

E Mufeo Colbertinino allatam,
Domino Harleo inter Καμηλια fua
Reponendam D. D. Matthæus Prior.

This lamp which Prior to his Harley gave,
Brought from the altar of the Cyprian dame,
Indulgent Time, through future ages save,
'Before the Mufe to burn with purer flame.

Sperne dilectum Veneris facellum.
Sanctius, lampas, tibi munus orno;
I, fove casto vigil Harleianas

EPITAPH.

Here lies Sir THOMAS POWYS, Knight:
As to his profeffion,

In accufing, cautious; in defending, vehement;
In all his pleadings, fedate, clear, and strong;
In all his decifions, unprejudic'd and equitable.
He ftudied, practifed, and governed the law
In fuch a manner, that

Nothing equalled his knowledge, except his
eloquence;

Nothing excelled both, except his justice.
As to his life,

He poffeffed, by a natural happiness,
All those civil virtues which form the gentleman:
And to these, by divine goodness, were added
That fervent zeal and extensive charity,
Which diftinguish the perfect Chriftian!

THE TREE IS KNOWN BY HIS FRUIT.

He was a loving husband and an indulgent father, A conftant friend and a charitable patron; Frequenting the devotions of the church; Pleading the caufe, and relieving the neceffities, of the poor.

What

What by example he taught throughout his life, At his death he recommended to his family and

friends:

"To fear God, and live uprightly."

Let whoever reads this ftone,

Be wife, and be inftructed.
