printed bottom
- These lone walls and storied arches have a character,
marking the Virtues of the Times deceas'd; whilst ECHO from
her hollow charnel Vaults speaks in the listening ear of
CONTEMPLATION, the Epilogue to Life' MORALITY; how soon its
gaudy Pageantries are pass'd, and DEATH without his mask
shuts the last scene!
