"Under this stone lies Gabriel John

Henry Purcell again, from 1686.

Under this stone lies Gabriel John,
In the year of out Lord one thousand and one.
Cover his head with turf or stone,
'Tis all one, 'tis all one,
With turf or stone 'tis all one.
Pray for the soul of gentle John,
If you please, you may,
Or let it alone, 'tis all one."

Under this stone lies Gabriel John,
who died in the year one thousand and one.

Cover his head with turf or stone
't is all one, 't is all one, with turf or stone, 't is all one.

Pray for the soul of gentle John,
if you please, you may, or let it alone, 't is all one.

Henry Purcell 1686
