"Quos ardens amor juvenilibus annis Abstulit atra dies—mors inopina rapit. Ille prior fatis Dacrorum nobile germen Occidit, in morbum ast incidit ilia prius Quæ languescendo miseræ prætædia vitæ Sensit, tam dulci conjuge cassa suo, Ut teneri cordis concordia junxerat ambos Sic idem amborum contegit ossa locus. Quos jungit tumulus conjungant cœlica tecta Ut tensant coelum qui tenuere fidem. Nobilis iste Vir Nobilis iste Mulier Obiit Sept. 25, 1594 Obiit Maii 14, 1595." The following is a free translation— "Those whom in youth love joined, death's day of gloom With little warning sank into the tomb; He, Dacre's seed, first yielded to the blow, She lingered on in weariness and woe; Their hearts responsive beat till life's calm close, Together here the bones of each repose, United by one grave,—in faith they lie, One blissful meed awaits them in the sky." In Chiddingly Church there exists a noble monument to the memory of Sir John Jefferay, Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. He died full of years and honours in the year 1578. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PUBLICATIONS OF _The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge._ ——:o:—— By GERTRUDE HOLLIS. =Illustrated.
