A thousand ways cut short our days; none are exempt from death,
A honey bee by stinging me did stop my mortal breath.
This grave contains the last remains of my frail house of clay.
My soul is gone not to return to one eternal day.
Friends one & all both grate and small, Behold where I lie,
Whilst you are here for death prepare, remember you must die.

Young people all, both great and small,
That breathes a vital breath.
Upon the state there is no age
That is exempt from death.

Then if you die as young as I, your work will be begun.
