Stone No.39a

 

Inscription.

On William Playfair, who died December 14, 1735.
Beneath this Stone, survivors did inter
The Breathless Corps of William Playfair
He was not fully Eighteen years of age
When he of flow'ring worth, quit the Stage
Some Golden Beams of Heavenly virtues strove
To hold his life unstain'd—His thoughts on things above.

This may or may not be from number 39, the relationship with the monument isn't clearly defined, so I give it here as a separate entry for the time being.
