Inscription
If Wisdom, True Repentance and Religion, Birth, Beauty, Worth, Youth, Wealth, Friends, Prayers or Praise could have preserved a body from corruption this lady might have lived yet endless days. But those were wings whereon her spirit fled hence. Christ though her fitter for his glorious presence. Her soul, although her body sleeps in dust attends like angles on Great God above. Now free from Pain, Sin, Fear or Fleshly Lust yet filled with heavenly joys and saints pure love. Then praise we God for her and pray likewise that we may live, die, rise and reign in bliss.
