"Here lyes a worthy squire; scant any age beheld a better man; and this his peere both scarcelie yelde

Hardie and wise, and juste and temperate eake of minde

Gyles Reede was trulie all if anie else we finde

Him dead, his vertious wife doth follow soon by death, well pleased after such a mate to draw no breath.

Each beinge others onlye choice, both waren olde

A noble paire, them both this onlie tombe doth holde"
