Roughly translated as...

If, from the store of tears you have to shed.
You lay out somevirhat on the sins you mourn,
Let some few crystal drops at least be spared.
Pity, nay, rather Justice has her claims
Forget them not, O Reader, when you rain
A pious shower of tears. These sad remains
Ask all the tears that you can ever shed.
Here lies George Snell, a Canon of that church
Where Devon's Bishop sits and feeds his sheep.
Once Thurlestone's Rector and Archdeacon too.
So rare his merits, that this sculptured stone
Could not contain the titles he should have
If he had met the honours he deserved............
