INSCRIPTIONS ON CHURCH BELLS
Here are some interesting inscriptions found on old church bells: My masters doubted of my sound He please them all when we ring round At Eckington, Worcestershire ♦•, ♦ * I will not fayle to singe mi part according unto musick art With my side mates I do agree in perfect shape and harmony. At He Abbots,'Somerset. Music and ringing we like so well And for that reason we gave this bell. AtAldboume, Wilts. I ring to sermon with a lusty home That all may come and none may stay at home. At Blakesley, Northamptonshire. ♦ * * * The Ringer’s art our graceful notes prolong Apollo listens and approves the song. At Hornsey, Middlesex. The concord of men’s mind produced me Like to itself perfect in harmony. At Dunmow, Essex. A mustang was asked after tea To join a few friends in a glee. But she just shook her head And when “why?” the folks said, “I’m a little horse- please,” answered she.
