his intellect； By diligence； by patience； by firmness； by love of truth； By
public spirit； ardent and disinterested； Yet always under the guidance of
discretion； By rigid uprightness； by unostentatious piety； By the serenity of
his temper； And by the benevolence of his heart。

THE MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS AND SPEECHES OF LORD MACAULAY。
EPITAPH ON LORD
METCALFE。
（1847。）
Near this stone is laid CHARLES； LORD METCALFE； A Statesman
tried in many high offices； And difficult conjunctures； And found equal to
all。 The three greatest Dependencies of the British Crown Were
successively entrusted to his care。 In India； his fortitude； his wisdom； His
probity； and his moderation； Are held in honourable remembrance By men
of many races； languages； and religions。 In Jamaica； still convulsed by a
social revolution； His prudence calmed the evil passions Which long
suffering had engendered in one class And long domination in another。 In
Canada； not yet recovered from the calamities of civil war； He reconciled
contending factions to each other； And to the Mother Country。 Costly
monuments in Asiatic and American cities Attest the gratitude of the
nations which he ruled。 This tablet records the sorrow and the pride With
which his memory is cherished by his family。
