Inscription

In Memory of
Mr. Thomas How
who died
the 2nd of April 1777
Æ tatis 84

Our term of time is Seventy Years,
An age that few survive,
But if with more than common Strength,
To eighty we arrive,
Yet then our boasted Strength decays,
to Sorrow turned and pain,
So soon the slender thread is cut,
And we no more remain.
