Others to dinner stay, and are full fed;
The oldest man but sups and goes to bed.
Large is his debt who lingers all the day;
Who goes the soonest has the least to pay."
"In memory of Alexander Layton, Master of Defence. 1679.
"His thrusts like lightning flew; but skilful Death
Parry'd them all, and put him out of breath."
"Hic jacet Tom Shorthose, sine tomb, sine sheets, sine riches,
Qui vixit sine gown, sine cloak, sine shirt, sine britches."
"Here lies father and mother, and sister and I,—
We all died within the short spase of one short year.
They all be buried at Wimble except I,
And I be buried here."
"Of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Here lie the remains of Thomas Chambers,
Dancing Master,
Whose genteel address and assiduity
in teaching,
Recommended him to all that had the
Pleasure of his acquaintance.
He died June 13, 1765,
Aged 31."
