Memento Mori.
Here lyes James Ramsay, portioner of Melrose, who died
July 15th, 1761.

On the back is the following verse:—

The Earth goeth on the Earth

Glistring like gold,

The Earth goeth to the Earth

Sooner than it wold;

The Earth builds on the Earth

Castles & Towers,

The Earth says to the Earth:

‘All shall be ours.’
