Edition Notes
Verse of ninety-four lines; first line: Awake my muse, and strike the mournful lyre.
Followed by: The epitaph upon her grave-stone.
Another edition spells "epitaph" with an upper case "E" and has variant setting of type and relief cut.
Dated: East-Hampton, ex meo mus©Œo, March 1st, 1768.
Samuel Buell, minister of the church at East Hampton, Long Island, is identified by Evans as the author of a similarly titled elegiac poem which also ends with the phrase "East-Hampton, ex meo mus©Œo" and which was printed by Timothy Green at New London, Conn. (Evans 11591). Because the Hedges were a prominent family in East Hampton, this poem was presumably written by Buell as well and printed at New London by Timothy Green.
