Inscriptions
Front, "Watch's Memento / See how the moments pass, / How swift they haste away, / In this instructive glass / Behold thy life decay. / Ah! waste not then thy prime / In sin's pernicious road, / Redeem thy precious time, / Acquaint thyself with God. / So when thy pulse shall cease / Its throbbing transcient play, / Thy soul to realms of peace / Shall wing its joyful way.".
