The modest front of this small floor,
Believe me, reader, can say more
Than many a braver marble can,—
“Here lies a truly honest man!”

Additional quotes by Richard Crashaw

Life that dares send
A challenge to his end,
And when it comes, say, Welcome, friend!

Let hearts and lippes speak lowd; and say
Hail, door of life: and sourse of day!
The door was shutt, the fountain seal'd;
Yet Light was seen and Life reveald.
The door was shutt, yet let in day,
The fountain seald, yet life found way.

The conscious water saw its God and blushed.

The modest front of this small floor, Believe me, reader, can say more Than many a braver marble can,— “Here lies a truly honest man!” - Richard Crashaw
