Inscription
Here lies the Body
of Mr John Daby
who Departed this
Life Jan'y 6th AD 1769
Aged 80 years and
11 months.
Tis but a few whose Days amount
To three score years and ten;
And all beyond that short Account,
Is Sorrow, Toil and Pain.
Our Vitals with laborious Strife
Bear up the crazy load.
And drag those poor Remains of Life,
Along the tiresome Road.
