Stay passenger and viow this stone
For under it lyis such a one
Who cuired many whill he lieved
Soe gracious he noe man grieved
Yea when his Phisick's force oft failed
His plesant purpose then prevailed
For of his God he got the grace
To live in mirth and die in peace
Heavin hes soul - His corps this stone
Sigh passinger and soe be gone
The inscription on the plinth of the Low monument (above) reads :
Ah me I
gravell am and dust
And to the grave deshend I most
O painted peice of liveing clay
Man be not pround of thy short day
