Reader before this monvmentall stone,
Two bodyes lye inter'd that once were one
Whom death did for a tyme divorce
And now hath married coarse to coarse
Their ashes meete in death and have
For their new marriage-Bed the grave
A third they yet expect, that fate
Nor time nor force shall violate

Wher both shall married and vnmarried bee
Not to themselves, bvt to eternitie
Then sleepe yee happy ashes here
Nor let a groane a sigh or teare
Distvrbe your rest tell the glad noyse
Of the worlde-wakeninge trvmpitts voyce
Raise yov from this dead sleepe & call
Yovr dvst from this sad fvnerall

To wed their sovles and sovle and body bring
Vnto the marriage of the Lambe theire Kinge.
