In Loving Memory of /
William Ibbetson /
who died December the ... aged 87 years /
Our life is but a winters day /
some only break fast and away /
others to dinner stay and are full fed /
but the oldest man sups and goes to bed /
such is his debt who lingers out the day /
who goes the soonest has the least to pay
