Excerpt: ... the mission church of Tanjore. On this monument are inscribed the following lines, written by the prince himself (whose name was Sarabojee):--Firm wast thou, humble and wise, Honest, oure, free from disguise j Father of captives, the widow's support, Comfort in sorrow of every sort; To the benighted, dispenser of light, Doing and pointing to that which is right; Blessing to princes, to people, to me; May I, my father, he worthy of theei Wisheth and prayeth thy Sarabojee. Lesson 56. Death Of A Christian. Thou art gone to the grave,--but we will not deplore thee, Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb; The Saviour has passed through its portals before thee, And the lamp of His love is thy guide through the gloom. Thou art gone to the grave,--we no longer behold thee, Nor tread the rough path of the world by thy side; But the wide arms of mercy are spread to enfold thee, And sinners may hope, since the Sinless has died. Thou art gone to the grave,--and its mansion t forsaking, Perhaps thy tried spirit in doubt lingered long, But the sunshine of heaven beam'd bright on thy waking, And the song which thou heard'st was the seraphim's j song.
