- In memory of Susan Schnip who died march / The 20 1824(?) aged 16 years 6 months 19 days / On Susan's grave we'll drop the tear / Over her mouldring relics here / Angels have borne her far away / ??? her ever lasting lay / Although she bade us not to weep / Which guardian angels safely keep / Where now they shine in robes of white / In worlds of uncreated light / ????? more sweet than susans grave / And now her gilded the distant wave / And mildly the verdent forms / Wrought by Miss Henrietta Schnipp //
