Notes
Also stitched by: Holman, Asneth, 1806, n.p., pg.174; Laird, Margaret, c.1809, n.p., pg.185. Although no attribution can be made to these verses, they do appear as epitaphs and in popular usage at least as early as 1766. In that year it appears, uncredited in The Young Lady’s Introduction to Natural History…London: S Bladon and T. Caslon, 1766, pg. 212, in a lesson on flowers.
