William Shakespeare Epitaph
Good frend for Iesvs sake forebeare,
To digg the dvst encloased heare.
Bleste be Middle English man Middle English spares thes stones,
And cvrst be he Middle English moves my bones.
In 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 that moves my bones.
William Shakespeare
