Robins, Elizabeth

Inscriptions from the book History of Blockley
by Rev Alfred. J Soden published in 1875:

Fletcher, (Honeybourne) 1844 Robins, 1789. Robert Robins 1719, aged 72, and Elizabeth Robins, 1772 aged 68. [From these dates it appears that Elizabeth Robins was left a widow at the age od 15] Epitaph:
"Hold, hasty reader don''t pass by,
But turn in here and learn to die;
For here thou often may''st be told,
How to be happy in this world.
And whether thou be wise or not,
To die e''er long must be thy lot.
It is not wealth but goodness then
That will make the happiest men."

(The above is inscribed on a tablet let into the exterior wall of the church.)
