'In Memory of/William Applegath who /Departed this life at the West/Indies the 10th May 1794 in/the Fifteenth Year of his Age/and was Interred in St Christophers/Church Yard' Ah Giddy Youth. Here drop a tear/And early wisdom prize/May grateful love inspire you here/And praise like incense rise/Like you with tender parents blest/Their smiles I amply shar'd/And dearest friends who me carest/For me each bliss prepar'd/Yet Oh-A tempest quickly rose/With grief and sickness prest/I sunk amidst a sea of woes/But Jesus gave me rest'
