ETESI'S [for Estesi's] Epitaph.

Stop, Christian Visitor! Stop, Child of God, Here lies a Poet: or what once was He! [O] Pause, Traveller, pause and pray for S. T. C. That He who many a year with toil of Breath Found Death in Life, may here find Life in Death.

And read with gentle heart! Beneath this sod There lies a Poet, etc.

'Inscription on the Tomb-stone of one not unknown; yet more commonly known by the Initials of his Name than by the Name itself.'
