In Charges all, was faithful to his Trust ;

He sober, wise and harmies, in his Ways;
Sharp Wit and Cheerful Countenance, yea he
A noble Pattern of all Honestie. '
To whom his dearest Wife caus'd cut this Stone,
For his Memorial lasting and her own.

Reader, you'll know, that underneath this Stone,
Ties famous, sober, harmless Donaldson,
Dear to his Neighbours, and whom did commend
His modest, good and virt'ous life to th' End.
Here also lies his chaste and comely Wife,
Fourty Years after her dear Husband's Life,
]n Peace embracing here his Ashes sweet,
And full of Joy, that they together meet,
Whence, at Christ's Call they gladly shall arise,
When, with the Trumpet's Sound, he cometLin the Skies.

The World's tempest'ous Sea while I did plow.
My Anchor, Hope, the Word my Compass. too.
Blest Faith my Helm, the Wind to fill my Sails,
The Holy Spirit, with its blessed Gales.
North star, thou Christ alone, I steer'd to thee,
Thou still was in mine Heart and in mine Eye.
In Heav'n, above, my safest Port, whence I
Despise and scorn all Earth's Uncertainty.
