Quisquis ades, lector, causam qui noscere benis(!)
Funde, precor, lacrimas; non minor hic dolor est.
Hic iacet ex animis magnus decor illa parentum
Quam mors inmeritam inp[ia] sorte tulit,

Incassum nil saeua iubens quam perdere duxit
Insontem animam dum sine sorde tra(h)it.
Sed hanc Dira dolum rapiens commune parentum
Tradidit et miseris tristia corda dedit.
Nam uiuit haec moriens, aeterna in luce manebit

Redem(p)ta et magno permanet Aelisio
Vis(!) quinos linquens sup(p)letis mensibus annos
