"Turn stranger, turn a piting eye, / 
Nor pass this grave unmoved by, / 
This monumental stone can show / 
How frail are all our joys below. / 
Look here ye young, ye careless & ye gay, / 
How short this life, how soon its joys decay; / 
Learn hence ye wisdom to improve your time / 
Nor spend in vain pursuits your golden prime."""
