 Andrew Cochran`s Monument

Monumentum Andreę Cochran vestiarii, qui obitt pridie calendas Aprilis, (the last day of March,) anno Domini 1663, ętatis suę 65. Ejusdem itidem conjugis Euphemię Couper amantissimę.

Hic pius Andreas Cocheranus conditur urna,

Sobrius, innocuus, sedulitatis amans.

Euphemis Coupera etiam charissima conjunx

Conditur hic, famę quę fuit usque bonę.

Ille expers ut fraudis erat, sic hęc quoque fraudis

Nescia; quin etiam sobrietate pares.

Pręterea, ut virtutis amans fuit ille maritus,

Cultrix virtutis sic fuit illa probę.

Denique, quod pietas similis fuit ante duobus,

Qui pietate paras, hęc habet urna pares.

The monument of Andres Cochran Taylour, who died as above. This also is the monument of his most loving wife Eupham Couper.

Here, in this urne, good Andrew Cochran lies,

Sober and painful, harmless in his ways.
