Uncorrected OCR. Name spellings, dates, symbols and column order may be wrong. Verify against the original scan. Dexter’s historical transcription covers legible pre-1800 stones in the crypt, the Green and Grove Street Cemetery. Bold type identifies crypt entries; OCR does not preserve that distinction reliably. Historical stone locations are not modern grave coordinates. Read with the 1914 corrections.

Here  (with  the  dead  this  hallow'd
ground  contains)
Of  youth  and  learning  dwell  the
sad  remains
Of  Genius  bright  just  rip'ning  into  bloom
Its  earthly  blossoms  with'ring  on  the  tomb
Oh  !   Had  kind  Heav'n  allow  d  a  larger  nate  !
So  short  his  warning  and  so  swift  his  fate
Ye  young  ye  Gay  attend  this  speaking  stone
Think  on  his  fate  and  tremble  at  your  own
