Leonard Hoar Doctour of
Phisicke who departed this life
In Boston the 28 November,
Was interred here the 6 December
And was aged 45 years,
Anno Dom, 1675.

Three precious friends under this tombstone lie
Pattern to aged, youth, and infancy,
A great mother, her learned son, with child,
The first and least went free, he was exil'd.
In love to Christ, this Country, and dear friends,
He left his own, cross'd seas, and for amends
Was here extoll'd, envy'd, all in a breath,
His noble consort leaves, is drawn to death.
Stranger changes may befall us ere we die,
Blest they who well arrive eternity.
God grant some names, O thou New England's friend,
Don't sooner fade than thine, if times don't mend.
