In Memory of
JOSEPH PARKER Esq.
who died Sept. 6th 1800 Aged 64 Years
& of his two Sons Capt. ISSAC PARKER
who died on the African Coast
Jan'ry 21st 1800 Aged 31 Years
& Dr. HENRY PARKER
who died at Batavia in the East Indies
June 12th 1800 Aged 29 Years.

In quick succession how those joys are fled
Down to the silent mansions of the Dead
In defiant lands, far from the prying eye
Of kindred friends, their hapless children die
Worn down with sickness and consumed with grief
The aged parent seeks in death relief
The widow and the father let their joys deplore
Till Christ more glorious ...
