A SAILOR S EPITAPH.
In thei churchyard of St. Andrew’s, Hertford, may be seen the following quaint epitaph over the grave of a sailor : “ Blow, Boreas, blow ; let Neptune’s billows roar ; Here lies a sailor safe stranded on the shore. Though Neptune’s waves have tossed him to and fro, By God's decree he harbours here below ; He now at anchor lies amid the fleet Awaiting orders, Admiral Christ to meet. ”
