In the same Chappel and Ile, upon a Gravestone is thus written.
| |
Not twice Ten Years of Age,
a weary Breath,
Have I exchanged
for a happy Death;
My Course so short,
the longer is my Rest.
God takes them soonest
whom he loveth best:
For he that's Born to day,
and Dies to morrow,
Loseth some Days of Rest,
but more of Sorrow.
Here lies buried the Body of John Buckland, Glover, 1625. who deceased the 16th of August.
| |
Upon a Stone, under the Grocers Arms, is this Inscription.
| |
Garret some call'd him,
but that was too high;
His Name is Garrard,
who now here doth lie.
He in his Youth was toss'd
with many a Wave,
But now at Port arriv'd,
rests in his Grave.
The Church he did frequent,
while he had Breath,
And wish'd to lie therein
after his Death.
Weep not for him,
since he is gone before
To Heaven, where Grocers
there are many more.
