Epitaph in Hornsey Church yard Hic Jacet S. T. C.

Stop, Christian Passer-by! Stop, Child of God! And read with gentle heart. Beneath this sod There lies a Poet: or what once was He. [Up] O lift thy soul in prayer for S. T. C. That He who many a year with toil of breath Found death in life, may here find life in death. Mercy for praise, to be forgiven for fame He ask'd, and hoped thro' Christ. Do thou the same.
