From St. Philip's Churchyard, Birmingham:
To the memory of James Baker, who died January 27th, 1781.
O cruel Death, how cou'd you be so unkind
To take him before and leave me behind?
You should have taken both of us, if either,
Which would have been more pleasing to the survivor.
✠
Died, on the 14th inst., Henry Wilkins Glyn, aged 3 days and 7 hours. After a long and painful illness, which he bore with Christian fortitude, this youthful martyr departed to his rest.
✠
Here lies the body of Jonathan Stout.
He fell in the water and never got out,
And still is supposed to be floating about.
✠
Here lies one Box within another;
The one of wood
Was very good;
We cannot say so much for t' other.
