Description
English: HERE Lieth the Body of SCIPIO AFRICANUS

Negro Servant to y Right Honourable Charles William Earl of Suffolk and Bradon
who died y 21st December 1720 Aged 18 Years
I who was Born a PAGAN and a SLAVE
Now Sweetly Sleep a CHRISTIAN in my Grave
What thos my hue was dark my SAVIORS sight
Shall Change this darkness into radiant Light
Such grace to me my Lord on earth has given
To recommend me to my Lord in heaven
Whose glorious second coming here i wait

With saints and Angels Him to celebrate.
