His unhappy fate

From the First Congregational Church Cemetery, Beckett, MA:

In memory of Mr. Jonathan Wadsworth
who died August 2d 1798 in the 76th year
of his age.
He was kill'd by a bull. He left to morn his
unhappy Fate, a wife, 8 children, 41 Gr. children,
12 Gr. Gr. children living in Beckett
My children round me seem to weep
Behold I am but fell a sleep.
In the bright morning shall arise
And dwell with God above the skies.
