Epitaph Found About 30 Years Since in the Church of St Botolph, Bishopsgate, London, An

Translated

Here lie interr'd, an husband and a wife,
One dust in death, as once one flesh in life
A sister's mingled ashes here repose,
Three bodies thus, one heap of dust enclose
Thou pow'r almighty, three in one wilt raise,
Three several bodies from one common mass.

Another

Below an husband and a wife are laid,
One flesh when living, and one dust now dead.
A sister's ashes mingle in the urn,
And thus three bodies to one dust return.
But thou, O three in one, almighty pow'r,
From this one dust, three bodies wilt restore.
