Near this spot
Are deposited the Remains of the one
Who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength with out Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.
This Praise, whch would be unmeaning Flattery
If inscribed over human Ashes,
Is but a just tribut to the Memory of
Boatswain, a Dog,
Who was born in Newfoundland May 1803
And died at Newstead November 18th 1808
A description of Newfoundland character in a famous epitaph that is on the monument at Lord Byron's estate, at Newstead Abbey, England
And on the eighth day,
God created Newfoundlands
