:Sacred to pure affection
:This simple urn
:Stands a witness of unceasing grief for him who
:Excelling in whatever is so admirable
:and adding to the exercise of the sublimest virtues
:The sweet charm of refined sentiment and polished wit
:By gay social commerce
:Rendered beyond comparison happy
:The course of domestic life
:and bestowed a felicity inexpressible on her
:Whose faithful love was blessed in a pure return
:That raised her above every other joy but the parental one
:and that still shared with him
:His generous country with public monuments has eternised his fame
:This humble tribute is but to soothe the sorrowing breast of private woe〔pedestal, Chatham Vase, Chevening, 17 June 2006.〕
