Henry Worth of Worth who dyed in 1630

The Isle's his monument Another is,
This Tombe that he built this A son of his.
He well Provides of building of his Owne
That builds A place where seed of life is sowne
The Eagle Wings May made a lofty flight
But Gracious souls Mount higher out of sight.
Worth of his Owne in man there can be None
Our Worth is all in the most Righteous One
