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!
Epitaph on Claudius Philips, the Musician - Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)
