Inscription
Here Lyes Interr’d the Body of
MR JAMES LLOYD who was
born August the 14th 1715
Died Septembr the 14th 1738
If youth and Beauty Virtue and good sense
Could guard against the fatal stroke of death
He’d longer lived and not Departed hence
Til far in Age and Nature wanted Breath
But so it is, that human life was giv’n
to make a short probation here on earth
That we might qualifie ourselves for heaven
and there enjoy a new eternal birth
Then he who soonest near perfection draws
and fits himself of vast eternity
is soonest eas’d from hum Natures Laws
And in Eternal Bliss is Ever Free
