Till time on ruin's lap shall nod, John shall sound the praise of God. With John in heavenly harmony, Andrew, pour thy melody. Be mine to chant Jehovah's fame, While Maria is my name. A not uncommon epigraph is— Come when I call, To serve God all. At Aldbourne, on the first bell, we read: "The gift of Jos. Pizzie and Wm. Gwynn. Music and ringing we like so well, And for that reason we gave this bell." On the fourth bell is— Humphry Symsin gave xx pounds to buy this bell, And the parish gave xx more to make this ring go well. At Broadchalk— I in this place am second bell, I'll surely do my part as well. At Coln, on the third bell— Robert Forman collected the money for casting this bell Of well-disposed people, as I do you tell. At Devizes, St. Mary— I am the first, altho' but small, I will be heard above you all. I am the second in this ring; Therefore next to thee I will sing. Amesbury, on the fifth bell— Be strong in faith, praise God well, Frances Countess Hertford's bell. Amesbury, on the tenor bell— Altho' it be unto my loss, I hope you will consider my cost. At Bath Abbey— All you of Bath that hear my sound, Thank Lady Hopton's hundred pound. At Stowe, Northamptonshire— Be it known to all that doth me see, That Newcombe, of Leicester, made me. At St. Michael's, Coventry— I ring at six to let men know When to and from their work to go. On the seventh bell is— I ring to sermon with lusty bome, That all may come, and none can stay at home. At St. Peter-le-Bailey, Oxford, in expectation of other bells which were never purchased— With seven more I hope soon to be For ages joined in harmony. On the eighth bell is— I am and have been called the common bell, To ring when fire breaks out to tell. St. Helen's church, at Worcester, England, has a set of bells cast in the time of Queen Anne, with names and inscriptions recording victories gained in that reign— 1. BLENHEIM. First is my note, and Blenheim is my name; For Blenheim's story will be first in fame. 2. BARCELONA. Let me relate how Louis did bemoan His grandson Philip's flight from Barcelon. 3. RAMILIES. Deluged in blood, I, Ramilies, advance Britannia's glory on the fall of France. 4. MENIN. Let Menin on my sides engraven be, And Flanders freed from Gallic slavery. 5. TURIN. When in harmonious peal I roundly go, Think on Turin, and triumphs on the Po. 6. EUGENE. With joy I bear illustrious Eugene's name; Fav'rite of fortune and the boast of fame. 7. MARLBOROUGH. But I for pride the greater Marlborough bear; Terror of tyrants and the soul of war. 8. QUEEN ANNE. The immortal praise of Queen Anne I sound, With union blest, and all these glories crowned.
