Here Rosa Bourne body laid
Of whom in truth no harm was said
Her Sovereign will was much obeyd
While here with us on Earth she stayed
Because that her deportment made
Of every rank, Of every Grade
through perfect love, all feel afraid
The Man who wrote these lines to tell
Of her Charracter, Knew her well
He put these lines upon the Stone
To make it to the readers Known
That they like her may do the same
In order to obtain a name
And to perpetuate their fame
