    Historic grave with delightful poetic epitaph.
    Full sixty Years the angry Winter's Wave
      Has thundering daſhd this bleak & barren Shore
    Since Sambo's Head laid in this lonely Grave
      Lies still & ne'er will hear their turmoil more.


    Full many a Sandbird chirps upon the Sod
      And many a Moonlight Elfin round him trips
    Full many a Summer's Sunbeam warms the Clod
      And many a teeming Cloud upon him drips.


    But still he sleeps _ till the awakening Sounds
      Of the Archangel's Trump new Life impart
    Then the Great Judge his Approbation founds
      Not on Man's Color but his_Worth of Heart

    Tomb in memory of a slave who died here after being transported by ship and was buried in unconsecrated ground. From here you have a wonderful view of the sea and the ships sailing in.
