Here lies interred, beneath this stone,
The bones of a true hearty one,
Who lived well and died better,
And sings in Heaven Glory for ever.

In memory of
James Fountain,
Died August 21, 1767,
Aged 60 years.
Philippa Brown, died November 22nd, 1738, aged 63.
Here I lie, without the door,
The church is full, ’twill hold no more;
Here I lye, the less I pay,
And still I lie as warm as they.
When thou art dead, let this thy comfort be,
That all the world by turn, must follow thee.
On Luke Simon, died May 25, 1784, aged 63.
Man’s life’s a snare, a labyrinth of woe,
Which mortal men are doomed to struggle this;
To-day he’s great, to-morrow he’s undone,
And thus with hope and fear he travels on:
Till some disease, or else old age,
Calls us poor mortals trembling off the stage.
