Here is a magnificent monument, erected in 1611, by Lady Dyer, in memory of her deceased husband, Sir William Dyer, the inscription upon which tells us that "they multiplied themselves into seven children." Beneath are the following quaint lines: - My dearest dust, could not thy hasty day Afford thy drowsy patience leave to stay One hour longer, so that we might either Have set up, or gone to bed together! But since thy finished labour hath possessed Thy weary limbs with early rest, Enjoy it sweetly, and thy widow bride Shall soon repose her by thy slumbering side! Whose business now is to prepare My nightly dress and call to prayer. Mine eyes wax heavy, and the days grow old, The dew falls thick-my blood grows cold: - Draw, draw the closed curtains, and make room, My dear, my dearest dust, I come, I come.

Excerpt from Gleanings in Graveyards: A Collection of Curious Epitaphs, Collated, Compiled, and Edited The importance of monumental inscriptions can, perhaps, scarcely be overrated. Whilst they serve to record many an heroic deed which, without them, might be lost sight of in the lapse of time, and many a testimonial of affectionate regard and filial gratitude which would else be neglected, they form in many cases the land-marks of history, and lead us to ascribe to their proper era, remarkable events, for the fixing of whose occurrence we might be without data. Hence it is that it is not barren of beneficial results for us to examine into the epitaphial records of bygone ages. The Egyptians, one of the earliest people of whom we have truly satisfactory records, are notable for their extraordinary tombs and temples, and tablet steles, representing offerings and inscribing prayers and supplications on their tombs.
