Here lies Poor SAMBOO A faithfull NEGRO Who (Attending his Maſter from the Weſt Indies) DIED on his Arrival at SUNDERLAND.
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
James Watfon Scr. H.Bell del. 1796
