Inscription
[coat of arms] /
Epitaphs, in these days Savouring /
More of Flattery, than Truth /
Tis Confessedly difficult to Credit, /
Much the Elegyes, on the /
Dead: /
But that Merit, may not fail of meeting with its deserts, /
From those whose duty it is /
To Acknowledge it. /
This Tomb is Erected to the Memory of /
ELIZABETH CARTER /
(Eldest Daughter of John Wormeley, late of Middlesex County, /
Esqr.) By her Gratefull Husband, LANDON CARTER, Esqr., of this /
Parish & County. She departed this life ye 31st day of January in /
The Year of our Lord 1740, & in the 27th year of her Age, leaving /
Four Children to Lament their Loss, sustained in her Death, with /
That of their Fathers /
Is true Piety /
Perfect Friendship /
Parental Tenderness, and Conjugal /
Affection, are deserving of Esteem. /
She must be truly admired, whose Life was one continued /
Proof of her being of the Number, of the /
Sincerest Christians, /
Best of Friends, /
Best of Mothers, /
And Best of Wives, /
As these Virtues do Necessarily produce an Eazy Deportment /
Her Rare Beauty /
And Comeliness of Body /
Were greatly advantaged by them, /
And as Prudently Protected by a decent /
Reservedness in Behaviour. [remainder of line removed] /
[three lines removed].
