Monumentum Sepulchral e Johannis Bell de Archland. Pallida mors aequo pulsat pede pauperum tabernas regumq turres. Post obitum benefacta manent, aeternaq; virtus omnia praetereunt praeter amare Deum.
(Grave Monument of John Bell of Archland. Pale Death with impartial foot knocks at the cottages of the poor and the palaces of kings. Good deeds transcend death and virtue surpasses everything but the love of God.)
