The following are the inscriptions on the tablets in the Cathedral:

NAVE-SOUTH.

"Well done thou god and faithful servant;
Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
Near this stone is deposited the body
of Mrs. Alice Smyth,
Daughter of Capt. Brent Smyth, of Dublin,
Who died in the 45th year of her age,
To the world a loss, to herself an infinite gain;
A superior understanding
And a most sweet and generous temper.
Always employed in the practise of religion
Both to God and man,
And improved by the purest influences of it,
Made her such an amiable pattern of virtue
As we never knew to be excelled.
Such was her whole life
And her death was equal to it.
Go reader and do thou likewise
That thy soul may be happy with her's,
When like her's thy body shall moulder in the grave
And this world be nothing to thee.
Her only sister and her husband,
In return for numberless favours
And that so much virtue may not be forgotten,
Have with the deepest sorrow for her death
Erected this monument to her memory,
Well knowing the meanwhile that it is more criminal
To write and publish than to speak a lie.
She was born February the 13th, 1706.
Died May 31, 1751.
