(In English:
Tell, thou marble, that which for her grief a deeply sorrowing wife who is
already almost become as still as thou cannot tell. Here lies what could die
of Richard Porter Esq., a young man of immense promise but few years,
whom fate, alas, with excess of haste bare hence in the 20th year of his age.
These pure ashes of her dearly loving husband were laid (to rest) by Barbara
Porter whose happiness in him as his wife is the measure of her unhappiness,
for she actually, in the course of a single year, sang the wedding hymn and
dirge of her darling spouse. He died the 14th day of December A.D. 1669.
Beneath this stone is also placed the mortal garb of the aforesaid Barbara who in the 45th year of her widowhood, the 1714th of salvation, on the 19th day of August, gave back her pure soul to God, and here rests with her beloved husband awaiting the blessed resurrection of them both.)
