    • Notes 
      • In the same vault are interred,
        the remains of Mary Clara des Champs de Marcelly,
        Marchioness of Villette, and Viscountess Bolingbroke, of a noble family,
        bred in the court of Lewis 14th.
        She reflected a lustre on the former,
        by the superior accomplishments of her mind;
        She was an ornament to the latter,
        by the amiable dignity and grace of her behaviour.
        She lived,
        the honour of her own sex,
        the delight and admiration of ours
        : She dyed,
        an object of imitation to both:
        With all the firmness that reason,
        With all the resignation that religion,
        Can inspire.
        Aged 74 the 18th of March, 1750."
