and with a double head, which commemorated in parallel lines, the birth and death of two females,-the singular construction and orthography of whose inscription I carefully transcribed.


"Death creeps abought on hard,
And steals abroad on seen,
Hur darts are suding and hur arows Keen,

When being Strock, Repentance is to late,
Death is a minut, full of suding sorrow,
Then Live to day, as thou may'st dy to Morrow.
Anno Domony, 1690."
