Inscription
In Memory of
Thomas Mansfield Esqr.
who departed this life
Novr. 4 1798
In the 85th. Year of his Age
The Righteous shall be in everlasting Remembrance
A Soul prepared needs no delays
The summons comes the Soul obeys
Swift was his flight and short the road
He closed his eyes and say his God
The flesh rests here till Jesus come
And claims his treasure from the tomb
