son of Andrew Backus Esquire & Mrs Lois
Blest with a modest easy mien,
A head improv'd a soul serene,
Belov'd by all & heap'd with praise,
He liv'd his few ah too few days,
Know then alike are wind to dust,
The youth & the old the learned the just,
And that if worth from death
Backus had ever shamed the Grave.
