The Grave of the Poet
William Shakespeare
1564 - 1616
Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon, England
The curse set in stone upon the grave of William Shakespeare
Good frend for Iesvs sake forbeare,
To digg the dvst encloased heare.
Bleste be ye man yt spares thes stones,
And cvrst be he yt moves my bones.
Modern spelling:
"Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbear,"
"To dig the dust enclosed here."
"Blessed be the man that spares these stones,"
"And cursed be he who moves my bones."
