Warnings

From Jamesville Walnut Grove Cemetery:

Death conquers all the sons of man:
Few reach their threescore years and ten. 
Though here and there you one may trace, 
Let none presume twill be their case.

From Liverpool Cemetery, Liverpool, NY: 

A classic (and here's some history on the verse). Also, I am open to suggestions as to what that very first word might be.

[?]er remember as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now so you must be
Prepare for death and follow me
