'To the memory of John Perry Esq. of Moor Hall, Harlow in the County of Essex, formerly of Blackwall who died Nov. 7th 1840 in the 67th year of his age. / If private worth combined with public zeal / Demand a tribute of the love we feel / If honour truth and probity conspire / To form examples which the just admire / This frail memorial may awhile suspend / The swift oblivion that succeeds our end / Preserve some record for the stranger's eye / Of generous virtues that should never die / Of active merit mixed with ardent mind / Which made his own the good of human kind / Diffus'd around the bounty Heaven bestows / And sooth'd the sharpness of malignant woes / The poor attest it whom he cloth'd and fed / The sick he nourished in their dying bed / The friends he succour'd and the youth he reared / To Christian hope by Christian promise cheer'd / In deeds like this revere his honor'd name / In Brunswick dock his arduous skill proclaim / That bold achievement of his useful toil / Which blessed with consequence his native soil / First taught this humble spot with wealth to smile / And rise emporium of the British isle / May such benevolence from earth remov'd / Await its destiny from God he lov'd / Celestial grace and mercy guard his tomb / And endless glory seal his final doom / PARENTIBUS CARISSIMUS FILLI MOERENTES POSUERUNT'
