Know stranger ere thou pass, beneath this stone | Lie JOHN TRADESCANT grandsire, father, son | The last died in his spring, the other two | Lived till they had travelled art and nature thro’ | By their choice collections may appear | Of what is rare in land in sea and air | Whilst they (as Homer’s Iliad in a nut) | A world of wonders in one closet shut | These famous Antiquarians that had been | Both gardeners to the ROSE and LILLY QUEEN | Transplanted now themselves, sleep here, and when | Angels shall with their trumpets waken men | And fire shall purge the world, these hence shall rise | And change this garden for a Paradise. (British English)
