The inscription on this wall effigy in the Norwich Cathedral reads:
All you that do this place pass bye Remember death for you must dye As you are now even so was I And as I am now so shall you be. Thomas Gooding here do staye Wayting for God's judgement daye.

There was a similar gravestone in my home town in Georgia (USA). It read:
Remember, youth, as you pass by,
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so shall you be.
Prepare for death, and follow me.
Legend has it that some wag once appended a sign that read:
To follow you I'm not content
Until I know which way you went.!
Lovely pictures, lovely blog.
