In Memory of
MRS. MARY CARRYL,
_Deceased 22 November_, 1809.
This Monument is erected by Eleanor Butler and Sarah
Ponsonby of Plas Newydd in this Parish.
_Released from Earth and all its transient woes_,
_She whose remains beneath this Stone repose_,
_Steadfast in faith resigned her parting breath_,
_Looked up with Christian joy and smiled in death_.
_Patient_, _Industrious_, _Faithful_, _Generous_, _Kind_,
_Her Conduct left the proudest far behind_;_
Her Virtues dignified her humble birth_,
_And raised her mind above this sordid earth_.
_Attachment_ (_Sacred bond of grateful breasts_)_
Extinguished but with life_, _this Tomb attests_,
_Reared by Two Friends who will her loss bemoan_,
_Till with her ashes_--_Here shall rest their own_.
