The inscription on the west face of this stone reads as follows: "Frail mortal who dost read these lines This truth fix in thy breast That in the course of rapid time Thou too shalt be at rest Death's shafts fly thick and unperceived They pierce the young and old The good and bad, the weak and strong The cow'rdly and the bold. Uncertain of another day Make up thy peace with God And in the vale of death he will Support thee with his rod."
