[From Manx Soc Vol 14]
" My hopes and fears
Start up alarmed: and o'er life's narrow verge
Look don on what ? a fathomless abyss;
A dread eternity! how surely mine! And can eternity belong to me,
Poor pensioner on the bounties of an hour ?"

:Exuviae Dom. Gulmi. Tear, Ludimagist, de Peel, sepultae Julii vto, MDCCLVI. Anno aetatis lxxiv. Epitaphti loco Gulielmi Tear, authore scripso.
Mors hen! pane quidem tamen est certissima vita.
Janua felicis denique lceta piis
Me licet hic retinent pro tempera vincula mortis.
Spes tamed in Christo non moritura manet
In Christi meritis patrisque clementis amore
Est humilis mea spes hac moriorque fide.
Tu Dens ipse mount cor scis secretaque cordis
Obscure cut non abdita quaque patent
Hic nihil optari dignum est hen! omnia vane
Ergo beata veni, vanaque, vita vade.
