Careful Words

distressed (adj.)

Philips, whose touch harmonious could remove

The pangs of guilty power and hapless love!

Rest here, distressed 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!

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784): Epitaph on Claudius Philips, the Musician.

  Afflicted, or distressed, in mind, body, or estate.

Book Of Common Prayer: Prayer for all Conditions of Men.
