「"Here Murray long enough his country's pride is now no more than Tully or than Hyde". Foretold by Ar. Pope and fulfilled in the year 1793 when William Earl of Mansfield died full of years and of honours: of honours he declined many: those which he accepted were the following: he was appointed Solicitor General 1742, Attorney General 1754, Lord Chief Justice and Baron Mansfield 1756, Earl of Mansfield 1776. From the love which he bore to the place of his early education, he desired to be buried in this cathedral (privately) and would have forbidden that instance of human vanity, the erecting a monument to his memory, but a sum which with the interest has amounted
Lyon's Inn, which at least well meant mark of esteem he had no previous knowledge or suspicion of and had no power to prevent being executed. He was the fourth son of David, fifth Viscount Stormont, and married the Lady Elizabeth Finch, daughter to Daniel, Earl of Nottingham by whom he had no issue. Born at Scone 2nd March 1704. Died at Kenwood 20th March 1793.」
(例えば、分度器・天体儀・天文学的観測器具などを扱っている) 英訳 「Here lies Isaac Newton, Knight, who, with almost divine intellect, set forth the motions and shapes of the planets, the paths of comets, and the tides of the ocean, shedding the light of mathematics upon them. He explained the rays of light and the origin of colors, which no one before had even guessed. Diligent, faithful, almost divine interpreter of Nature, of Antiquity, and of the Holy Scripture, he asserted the majesty of Almighty God philosophically and expressed the simplicity of the Gospel with humility. Mortals rejoice that there has existed such and so great an ornament of the human race. Born 25 December 1642, Died 20 March 1726/7.」
【ここに眠る
アイザック・ニュートン卿。
ほとんど神に近い精神の力をもって、
惑星の運行とその形状、
彗星の軌道、海の潮汐を解き明かし、
数学の光をもってそれらに照らした。
また、光線とそこから生じる色彩を説明し、
これを先に推測した者は誰一人いなかった。
彼は、自然・古代・聖書の勤勉で忠実、
そしてほとんど神のごとき解釈者であり、
全能なる神の威光を哲学的に示し、
福音の単純さを謙虚に表現した。
人類は歓喜す、
このように偉大な栄光が
人類に存在したことを。
