Inscription

May this sudden departure of our friend
quicken us to seek Christ before we are called to our death bed

I lovely and a blooming maid,
By deaths arrest a corpse was laid
Snatch'd like a flow'r from off the stalk
Call'd thru death's gloomy vale walk
But o' when health and vigor flow'd
and every pleasing passion glowed
how little did she think that death
so suddenly would seaze her breath
