Inscription
In Memory of Mrs Abiah
late consort of John Leavitt
Esq who died June ye 12th
AD 1782 in ye 55th Year of her Age
----------------
Amid ye Graves you find me buried here
Behold Deaths Victim! Mortals lend an Ear:
Intombed in Earth a Corpse you soon will be,
And mingle Dust & crumbling Bones with me:
Heres what I am & what you all shall be.
Lodged in the silent Grave! all turn to Clay.
Expect no Mercy if you will delay,
And triffle all your Day of Grace away
Vain is your Hope if Christ be not your Friend.
Jehovah Speaks: why will you not attend.
Today repent, before it be too late,
Tomorrow may commence your awful Fate!
