HERE lies the BODY of

AMY REQUA wife of

Stephen Van Wart with

Her Infant by her side:

She died Feb,y 22 : 1804 .

Aged 19 Years & 16 Days.

The golden bowl by death is broke

The pitchers broke in twain

The cistern wheel has felt the stroke

The pleasant Child is Slain :

The winding sheet doth bind it’s limbs

The Coffin holds it fast

To day tis seen by all it’s friends

But this must be the last .
