Jonathan POOLE

Grave

Inscription:

Memento te esse mortalem.
C ye 2d.
Fugit hora.

Here lyes the body of Capt. Jonathan Poole, who deceased in the 44th year of his age, 1678.

Friends sure would prove too far unkind,
If, out of sight, they leave him out of mind;
And now he lyes transform'd to native dust,
In earth's cold womb as other mortals must,
It's strange his matchless worth, entomb'd should lye,
Or that his fame should in oblivion dye.
