Altus in animo, in corpore maximus.
In remembrance of that prodigy in Nature,
DANIEL LAMBERT.
A native of Leicester, who was possessed of an exalted, convivial mind;
and in personal greatness had no competitor;
He measured 3 ft. 1 in. round the legs, 9 ft. 4 in. round the body,
and weighed 52 st. 11 lb.
He departed this life on the 21st June, 1809,
Aged 39 years.
As a testimony of respect, this stone is erected by his friend in Leicester.
✠
Man's life's a vapor, and full of woes,
He cuts a caper, and down he goes.
