On the south side of the Chancel at Cuddesdon Church, near Oxford, is the following beautiful Inscription.

MARIA

Roberti Lowth, Episcopi Oxon.
Et Mariæ Uxoris ejus filia,
Nata XImo die Junii, A. D. MDCCL,
Obiit Vto die Julii, A. D. MDCCLXVIII.

Cara vale! ingenio præstans, pietate, pudore,
Et plusquam natæ nomine cara vale,
Cara Maria vale! at veniet felicius ævum,
Quando iterum tecum, sim modo dignus, ero.
Cara redi! læta tum dicam voce, paternos
Eja age in amplexus, cara Maria redi!

Translation:

Dearer than daughter, parallel'd by few,
In genius, goodness, modesty, adieu!
Adieu, Maria! 'till that day more blest,
When, if deserving, I with thee shall rest;
Come then, thy Sire will cry, in joyful strain,
O! come to thy paternal arms again.
