Inscription for a seat by the pathway side ascending to Windy Brow

Ye who with buoyant spirits blessed
And rich in vigour need not rest
Look on this slighted seat-repose
From thoughtless mirth and feel for those
Who bowed by age or sickness greet
With thankfulness this timely seat
And well admonished ponder here
On the last resting place, so near
To you. Tho’ time his prey yet spares,
Your fervid blood shall be as theirs,
Your motion light your spirits high
Shall turn to feeble cold and dry
Then go with watchful care sustain
The languid steps of age and pain
The thorny bed of sickness smooth
So shall ye give new joys to youth
And for your future selve[s] prepare
Through every change of years and care
That rest which Vertue still must know
And only Vertue can bestow.
