The following remarkable epitaph (preferved at 
Oxford, and printed in Mr. Aubrey’s Antiquities of 
Surrey, p. n.), was intended for, but never placed 
upon, this monument. 
Know, ftranger, e’er thou pafs, beneath this Hone 
Lie John Tradefcant, grandfire, father, fon. 
The laft dy’d in his fpring j the other two 
Liv’d till they had travelled art and nature thro’. 
As by their choice collections may appear. 
Of what is rare in land, in feas, in air : 
Whilft they (as Homer’s Iliad in a nut) 
A world of wonders in one clofet fhut. 
Tbefe famous antiquarians that had been 
Both gardiners to the Rofe and Lilly Queen, 
Tranfplanted now themfelves, fleep here ; and when 
Angels {hall with their trumpets awaken men, 
And fire fhall purge the world, thefe hence {hall rife 
And change their garden for a paradife. 
Before I conclude, I muft beg leave to add a lift 
of the portraits of the Tradefcant family, now in the 
Afhmolean Mufeum. I cannot, however, conceive 
why both father and fon are therein called Sir John, 
as it does not appear either of them were ever 
knighted. But fo it is in the Oxford lift communi-
