Here lies James Quinn. Deign, reader, to be taught,
Whate’er thy strength of body, force of thought,
In Nature’s happiest mould however cast,
To this complexion thou must come at last.

— David Garrick

Their cause I plead,—plead it in heart and mind;
A fellow-feeling makes one wondrous kind.

Corrupted freemen are the worst of slaves.

Let others hail the rising sun:
I bow to that whose course is run.

Heart of oak are our ships,
Heart of oak are our men;
We always are ready.

This scholar, rake, Christian, dupe, gamester, and poet.
