John Bartlett (1820–1905).  Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.  1919.
 
 
NUMBER:4005
AUTHOR:Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
QUOTATION:Philips, whose touch harmonious could remove
The pangs of guilty power and hapless love!
Rest here, distress’d by poverty no more;
Here find that calm thou gav’st so oft before;
Sleep undisturb’d within this peaceful shrine,
Till angels wake thee with a note like thine!
ATTRIBUTION:Epitaph on Claudius Philips, the Musician.
BIOGRAPHY:Columbia Encyclopedia.
