| Surname | Moore | | Forename(s) | Anna | | Year of Death | 1740 | | Inscription | Hic Jacet Anna Moore Obiit primo die Decembris, Anno Domini MDCCXL Pulchritudo et omnes virtutes in illa dilectissime junctae fuerunt, Beates Ille qui talem tenet Uxorem beatissimus eram dum vixit, O Lector meum perpeude damnum et tunc dice quem inter homines putas miserimum. Beauty doth lay interr'd beneath this stone, And every virtue sweetly joined in one. Bless'd was the man possess'd of such a wife; Most bless'd was I, while God preserved her life. Think what I have lost, kind reader, tell me then Who in the World is wretchedest of men. |
