The main panel in Latin corresponds roughly to the English. On the four panels under the effigy are Latin lines which can be translated: Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly [also shown in English]. With piety and prudence. With conjugal fidelity.
The mottos above and below the coats of arms can be translated: With pity and charity. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. All things abound in ills: God alone brings succour. [Courtesy of Westminster Abbey website, translation amended.]
