Robertus Leslie, Comitis, qui filius olim,
Rothusiae fuerat simul, et suavissima conjunx
Elphinstonii soboles herois, conduntur in antro,
Hoc licet obscuro celebres pietate supersunt;
Hos quondam binos Hymenaeus junxit in unum
Corpus, et his vivis semper una voluntas,
Unus amor, domus una fuit, nunc lumine lasso,
Una duos iterum condit libitina sepultos.
'Sub Spe.' "
