Inscription
Under this Stone
Lyeth ye Body of the Revd.
Nathaniel Lang Son of Natha-
niel Lang of St. Mabyn in Cornwal
Who was buried in Aug. 1743.
In ye 27th Year of his age
Also here lyeth ye body of Ann
Lang his Sister who departed ys
life ye 19th day of Aug. 1748. in ye 32nd
Year of her age and according
To her own desire is buried here
O Cruel Death! or certain Hand of Fate,
This loving Couple first for to Divide;
More welcome Death that did at last translate
The mournful Sister by her Brother's Side;
In Peace they Rest, now freed from Grief and Pain
Their Parents Loss, but their eternal Gain.
Like Turtle mourning for her Mate,
A Sister long bemoan'd her Brother;
Kind Death, her Ardent wishes Crown'd
And brought their Mortal parts together.
Their Bodys moulder here in Clay
Their Pious Souls have taken flight
To Regions of Eternal Day
To Reign with Christ in Realms of Light.
