found this beautiful poem, in Annas Files....She was related to the Stanley Family in England. Ask who lyes heare but do not weep, He is not dead he dooth but sleep This stoney register, is for his bones His fame is more perpetual than theise stones And his own goodness with himself being gon Shall lyve when earthlie monument is none On the other end of the tomb: Not monumental stone preserve our fame, Nor sky aspiring pyramids our name The memory of him for whom this stands Shall outlive marbl, and defacers hands When all to tymes consumption shall be geaven Standly for whom this stands shall stand in Heaven.
