HE Church of Kilkhampton was viſited by
Mr. Hervey (Author of the Meditations) Anno
1746, when in its original Obſcurity. About the Year
1783 ſome exalted Characters of that Century propoſed
the Erection of an Abbey on the Spot where it had ſtood.
The Project was conſidered of eſſential Utility, and
ſpeedily put in Execution. It ſoon became diſtinguiſhed
by the Interment of the moſt honorable Perſonages ;
and when this ſelect Collection of Epitaphs was tran-
ſcribed, Kilkhampton Abbey was ſuppoſed to contain a
more extenſive Range of ſplendid Monuments than
that of Weſtminſter.

The Interval betwixt her Diffolution, and the melancholy Occa-

Too partial to the dangerous Folly of ungoverned charioteering,

READER,
Think not to trace my Virtues in the Page of Hiſtory,
Or view my worth, recorded in the Annals of my Country:
My Inclination never prompted me to a Wiſh
Which might promote the Welfare,
Or improve the Intereſts of Mankind.
I graſped at Admiration, and obtained it, but it was the Tribute
of a few, unprincipled and abject as the Man they cheriſhed.
My Conduct became a Pattern to the Unbeliever,
A Refuge for the detected Outcaſt,
And a Reproach to thoſe, who once had known and valued me.
An Enemy to Religion, I profeſſed myſelf its Advocate,
And attempted to delude the Freemen of the City of G.........
By a Diſguiſe of
my
real Principles.
The Poignancy of my Sarcaſms made me rather dreaded than
careffed.

Though Affluence ſeemed to have courted him with a ſtudied
Partiality,
Though Honors were beſtowed on him, and the Rays of Court-
favor gave them new Luſtre,
The peeviſh Sullenneſs of his Temper was unabated.
His political Creed

In the one he aimed at Humour, in the other he profeſſed,

From authentic Records it has been diſcovered that the
Vault, wherein this Family have been interred for
ſome Years, was originally Anno 1790, a ſpacious
Cellar built by the deceaſed Baronet, whoſe Monu-
ment is inſcribed as follows:
To perpetuate as far as human Aſſiſtance could lend the Means,
The Virtues of Sir 0....ph... P...,
This Monument was erected by the joint and willing Subſcription
of his ſurviving Friends, who, honoring his Benevolence in
general, and his particular Attachment to the Welfare and
Proſperity of the County of G.........,
Have endeavoured to expreſs the Senſe they entertained of his
manifold Deſerts,
By a fincere and public Teſtimony of their Veneration for his
Memory.
His indefatigable Zeal for the Good of Mankind, when ſober,
and the honeſt Freedom of his Sentiments, WHEN DRUNK, have
ſtampt an indelible Impreſſion in his Favor on the Mind of
every Well-wiſher to his Country, who muſt, with an Over-
flow of Tears, lament the Loſs of a Character, ſo ſtrongly
marked with an unlimited Liberality of Opinion.
The worthy Baronet expired in the Arms of his Butler on the
17th of Oct. 178—, after having put Three Noblemen to Bed
dead drunk, at a HOUSE-WARMING.

His Failings, though they frequently partook of Criminality,

Who, unanimated with a Defire of imitating the Virtues of
his Progenitors, and heedleſs of the Mention which might
be made of him hereafter, preferred the Gratification of the
preſent Moment to an honorable Immortality, and indulged
the Sallies of ungoverned Licentiouſneſs, without the Inter-
ruption of Reflection or Regret. He diſcovered at an early
Period an Irkſomeneſs in Matrimony, which no lucrative
Confiderations could induce him to reliſh; and left the Ele-
gance of his Perſon ſhould captivate the Affections of the fair
Sex, without a Proſpect of Releaſe, adminiſtered a Remedy
in the Profligacy of his Life, which checked the Diſorder in
its Infancy. An unexpected Summons in the Vigor of his
Youth deprived him of the Wiſh to reflect, while the Seeds
of Caution were yet in Embryo.
He died with the Hope of benefiting Mankind by the Iſſue of
his Indiſcretions,
Though he had not Time or Reſolution to renounce Obedience
to their inſinuating Allurements.

Who, in her Life, valued not the ineſtimable Bleſſing he enjoyed,
And in her Death, wiſhes, but in vain, to obliterate

She was a Pattern to her Sex in every Virtue that could adorn

The moſt affectionate Daughter, the fondeſt Wife, the moſt

Her Charities were rather felt than known.
Her Tenderneſs prompted her to anticipate by the moſt diligent
Enquiry the Woes ſhe wiſhed to heal;
And to relieve them, with the moſt refined Benevolence.
Her Loſs was deplored by all; by none with more heart-felt
Sorrow than the Widow and the Orphan, whom ſhe

Of 0.... ne, Marquis of C..m.....n,
A Nobleman, who, in an Age of Diſſipation, preſerved his
Honor and Integrity unſpotted.
His political Conduct was ever directed by the Principles
of Virtue,
To the Detriment of his temporal Intereſts.
His Domeſtic Tranquillity though diſquieted, for a Moment, by
the Infidelity of a Woman, who merited the
Contempt the ever after experienced,
Returned to him, with new Charms in the Poſſeſſion of -
The Virtues he poſſeſſed were conſiſtent with the
Dignities he inherited.
A Foe to Servility,
He preſerved a Grandeur in his moſt indifferent Actions,
Yet in his Converſe with the World, tempered the Greatneſs of
his Sentiments with an engaging Condeſcenſion,
that procured him general Veneration.

The Softneſs of her Temper was diſcovered in Incidents of the

Her Manners, ſtrived to outvie each other, in
commanding Love and Admiration.

A Lady more au fait in the Art of accommodating little Diffi-

faction. Major M.... charmed her; Mrs. M.... was an
Obſtacle: One generous Expedient was ſtill at Lady C-'s
Command : She embraced it, and all former Contracts were
declared invalid.
Her Ladyſhip, after ſtruggling with a few Inconveniences,

Educated in Notions, by no Means the moſt tolerant, and a

imbibed the Spirit of the People with whom
he had lived, and became an Enthuſiaſt
from Principle.
To accommodate his Opinions to the Genius of preſent
Circumſtances, was a Maxim he utterly abhorred.
The indignant Fervor of his Soul prompted him to proſecute
while he reformed, and avenge the Cauſe of Reaſon and

deemed wilful and unworthy.

He lamented the Breach of Tranquillity he had been ſo

and in his Commerce with the more baſe and deſigning Part
of Mankind, acted on Principles of genuine Sincerity. His
Indiſcretions, however they might have impaired his Fortune,
did not indicate a Depravity of Heart. He had the Feelings
of a Father, though he attended not to the temporal Intereſts
of his Children, and preſerved the Eclat due to his Rank and
Dignity, though a Stranger to the OEconomy neceſſary to
tranſmit them with the ſame Splendor to his Poſterity. A
Spirit of Oppoſition animated him on every Occaſion, whe-
ther he arraigned the Conduct of Miniſters in the Senate, or
of Jockies on the Courſe. To the Cacoethes of being ever in
Action, he owed the greateſt Share of his Misfortunes. To
the Bleſſings of domeſtic Peace, he was indebted for a Miti-

gation of his moſt pungent Diſtreſſes. Having no Son to in-
herit his Eftates, he conſidered accumulated Wealth as an
unneceſſary Appendage to the Charms of Two amiable Daugh-

the Frailties of their Father.

The Body was lodged at Mrs. -'s, Street, Dublin.
Three or four young Ladies of her Family, more curious
than careful, made a forcible Entrance into the Repoſitory
which contained it, and ſo irreparably damaged the noble
Lord's Remains, that it was judged unſafe to hazard a de-
cent Interment of them at Kilkhampion. Mrs. ---, however,

L..... Lord R........gh,
Though ſtricken in Years, and ſmarting with Severity of
Correction, remained to the laſt Moment of his Life
the incorrigible Simpleton of his earlieſt Infancy.
Impelled by an Attachment, the moſt inexplicable, he fought
to gain Applauſe, as angry Children ſeek to recover
a Play-thing--by Compulſion ;
And ſucceeded as contemptibly in the Means he adopted,
as in the Uſe of them.
Inſenſible to the Dignity, and unacquainted with the
Purpoſes of Man's Creation, he was incapable even
of arriving to the wretched Ultimatum of his
Purſuits, and exhibited a lamentable
Portrait of Diffatisfaction
and Indifference.
Bleſs’d, (or as leſs partial Hiſtorians will relate of him) curs’d
with an Aſpect unmeaſurably erect, he appeared to have
given Animation to our firf Edward's Bones,
for the commendable Purpoſe of
demanding a Surrender :
However the Simplicity of his Looks might to
fruſtrate the Reſolution.
His Lordſhip, after being pointed at Time out of Mind, as the
gigantic Dwarf of D, conceiving it alike practicable
to execute a Project, as to furniſh its Materials,
Commenced a bold and vigorous Aſſault againſt the Windows
of Miſs -'s Chamber, and on a gentle Puſh from
the beſieged, fractured his Skull, by falling from
the Tip-top Step of the Ladder Battlements
he had erected.

To ſurprize Mankind he eſteemed the worthieſt Prerogative

Pronouncing Inſtruction and Reproof alike fuperfluous.
Ever in Search of the truly Magnificent and Sublime, he ſometimes

In the 18th Century they merited the moſt wanton Panegyric;

He called Abſurdity the neceſſary Attendant
