...r natural light;
With Socrates may see their Maker's Face,
While thousand rubric-martyrs want a place.
Nor does it baulk my charity, to find
Th'Egyptian Bishop of another mind:

For fear that he might refuse 'em;

the measures carved below the ones above.
I doubt if 30 years of bleak Leeds weather
and 30 falls of apple and of may
will erode the UNITED binding us together.
And now it's your decision: does it stay?
Next millennium you'll have to search quite hard
to find out where I'm buried but I'm near
