Ave Maria - Robert Parsons

Robert Parsons fell into the River Trent and drowned; he was only 37. At this funeral, the eulogy included:

"Qui tantus primo Parsone in flore fuisti, quantus in autumno in morerer flores."

"You who were so great, Parsons, in life's springtime, how great you would have been in autumn, had death not intervened."
