Near this Place

John Savery Son of
William Savery of Slade
Esq By Prudence his
Wife Daughter of John
Drake of Ivey Bridge
Esq. Who Departed
This Life the 21 of
February 1696.
This infant fled from our admiring sight
his stay so short, so sudden was his flight
That he has taught us by his hasting hence
That the earths two vile for so much innocence.
Reader relent since thou noe more shall see
This matchless child but in his Effigie.
