Epitaph. Humanitas maerent et maerebunt te, Sumner justitiae cultor eximius, justitia ob vitam purissima inter sordiores humanitas ut tibi nusquam aliena tu fine laborum immortalis initio gaudeas tali morte tale superstite nullo.
Felix faustus fortunatus gloria resurgens ave.
The following may be given as nearly a literal translation:
Humanity and Justice mourn and will mourn thee, O Sumner, most renowned fosterer of justice!
Justice on account on thy most pure life among the base; humanity in that she never was a stranger to thee.
Thou rejoicest in the end of labors and the beginning of immortality.
O happy, blessed and fortunate one, in such a death that none like thee bemains, rising to glory, hail!
