HALLOWED be the Sabaoth, ON WALTER STRONGE, A MASON. HERE'S one that was an able workman long, Who divers houses built both fair and strong; Tho' Stronge he was, a stronger came than he, And robb'd him both of life and skill we see : Moving an old house, a new one for to rear, Death met him in the way, and laid him here.
