Grantham
John Palfreyman, who is buried here,
Was aged four & twenty year;
And near this place his mother lies;
Likewise his father, when he dies.
Iselton Cum Fenby
Here Lies the body of Old Will Loveland,
He’s put to bed with a shovel, and
Eased of expenses for raiment and food,
Which all his life-time he would fain have eschewed.
He grudged his housekeeping his children’s support,
And laid in his meat of the cagge-mag sort.
No fyshe or fowle touched he when t’was dearly Bought,
But a Green taile or herrings a score for a groate.
No friend to the needy
His wealth gather’d speedy,
And he never did naught but evil,
He liv’d like a hogg,
He died like a dogg,
And now he rides post to the devil.
