Inscription
ISABELLA MORRIS, Widow,
and Relict of his Excellency
LEWIS MORRIS, Esq;
late Governor of the
Province of New Jersey
A Lady endowed with every Qualification
requisite to render the Sex agreeable
and entertaining, through all the
various Scenes of Life
She was a Pattern of conjugal Affection;
a tender Parent, a sincere Friend,
and an excellent Oeconomist.
She was liberal, without prodigality;
Frugal, without Parsimony;
Chearful, without Levity;
Exalted, without Pride.
In Person, Amiable;
In Conversation, Affable;
In Friendship, Faithful;
Of Envy, void.
That, she passed through Life, endowed with every grace,
her virtus! black detraction can't deface;
Or cruel envy e'er eclipse her fame,
Nor, mouldering time obliterate her name.
