In Memory Of Mary Jameson 

Wife To The Above Hugh Jameson 

Who Died Jan 12th A.D 1777 Aged 63 

Pause Here Ye Modish Matrons Of The Age

                By Vice Or Follys Maddening 

Pause - And Instructed By An Humble Stone 

Go Learn To Make This Character Your Own 

Here Rests A Woman Just Without Pretence 

Pure In Her Friendships Blest With Plain Good Sence 

Who Ne'er Grew Giddy Oer Ambition Nigh 

Nor Once E'er Gave Vanity A Sigh 

Content In Peace To Walk Through Private Life 

The Guardian Mother The Feeling Wife 

These Parts Peformed She Piously Withdrew 

Share The Bright Reward She Had In View
