Text Appearing Before Image:
on of Armenian Inscription: — (Taken from History of the Armenians in India). Hail! thou that readest the tablet of my tomb wherein I now do sleep. Give me the news, the freedom of my countrymen, for them I did much weep. If there arose among them one good guardian to govern and to keep. Vainly I expected in the world to see a good shepherd come to look after the scattered sheep. I, Jacob, grandson of Shameer, an Armenian of a respectable family whose name I keep, Was born in a foreign town in Persia, new Inefa, where my parents now for ever sleep. Fortune brought me to this distant Malacca, which my remains in bondage doth .keep. Separated from the World on the 7th July, in the year of our Lord 1774. at the age of 29. My mortal remains were deposited in this spot in the Ground which I had purchased. Dutch Inscription:— Here lie the remains of Heer JACOB SHAMIER, the Armenian Merchant, who was buried on the 7th July, in the year of Our Lord 1774, in the 29th year of his age. ( 6 )
