Come see who are thou' out that road,
What on this stone is wrote,
How death came towards good and bad,
And does decide their fate.
To some it comes, lingering and slow,
To others, all in haste,
It snatches up our friends at once,
And leaves us all distressed.
Such was the case with sisters dear,
The two who are here laid,
The eldest pin'd for years and dyed,
The other slept and dyed,
Attending in the house of God,
His ordnance divine,
Amidst her friends around her set,
Her soul she did resign.
Be warned ye who careless are,
To act a prudent part,
Lest death should come when ye least think,
And find you unprepared.
Of those whose deaths we now lament,
It trustly can be said,
No vice, no crime, was ever heard,
With which they could be stained.
