'A Stanza of Verse Inscribed in Commemoration of the benefactions of Horsehouse School Composed by RALPH RIDER of Deer Close, being blind and in the 90th Year of his Age.' 'The Stranger here may see as he goes by An Act of most extensive Charity Which Providence has brought upon the Stage. Such deeds are rare in this degenerate Age Where sensual Pleasures Avarice and Pride Predominate and Virtue laid aside. Here's Treasure laid for Ages to endure From Rust and Moth and Pilfering Thieves secure. Which, like seed sown upon a fertile Soil in time will recompense the Plowmans Toil Posterity may reap the Crop and thank JOHN CONSTANTINE and WILLIAM SWITHENBANK'
