Inscription on a Wall in St. Edmund’s Church in Lombard Street, London

Anonymous

MAN, thee behoveth oft to have this in mind,

That thou givest with thine hand, that thou shalt find;

For widows be slothful, and children be unkind,

Executors be covetous, and keep all that they find

If anybody ask where the dead’s goods became?

So God help me and Halidam, he died a poor man.
