DESCENDANTS OF

JOSEPH TAY N TER,

PREPARED BY

["Le Teynterer," "Taynterer," "Taynter," &c. ]

Like leaves on trees the race of man is found,
Now green in youth, now withering on the ground;

Another race the following spring supplies,

They fall successive and successive rise.

So generations in their course decay,

So flourish these when those are passed away.

POPE'S HOMEE.

AND TRANSMIT TO POSTERITY AN

UNTARNISHED NAME.
