"EPITAPHS IN THE CHURCHYARD OF SPYNIE.

Hic dormiunt in Christo, Duae Nobiles Robertus Leslie, Dominus de Findresy, ejusque conjunx Joneta Elphinstone, ille obiit 22nd Sept., anno 1588. Illa AE. R. O.
Grip Fast - Disce mori - Causa causit.

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.' "
