If you can read Latin, you won't need to have the inscription below translated. It's from a memorial to Clementis Empson, and is inscribed on a plaque in the cloisters of Winchester College, England.

Clementis Empson

Amicorum Deliciae, Parenti viduae carissimus,

Beati Mundo Code, quoniam ipsi Deum videbunt

Those of you who can't read Latin, will
