Inscription
Nancy W . Winsors / / / To name her virtues ill befits my grief / What was my bliss can now give no relief. / A husband mourns the rest let Friendship tell / Fame spread her worth. A husband knew it well. / There is a pleasure in sadness, when hope dwells in / the heart of the mournful. //
