"In memory of Henry Spoure. , Stand traveler, it is little cost in delay. Under this tomb lies a pretty little boy, hope of his Country, brief delight of his parents, pillar and love of his family, ornament of his school, shattered in the flower of his youth from the embrace of the muses . Ancestry, wealth, vigour of speech and happy labour were of no avail against the onset of death which destroyed a thousand graces, a thousand elegances and beauties in one, all at once. Go traveler and mindful of your own mortality, look to eternity and a long farewell.
Died AD 1688 on the 16th day of March in his tenth year, fifth month and seventh day. Edmund Spoure esquire of Trebatha, grieving placed this monument to his only son"
