bury st edmunds abbey, suffolk

bury st edmunds abbey, suffolk
one of the gravestones affixed to the charnel house built c.1280 is to 9 year old catholic mary haselton, struck down by lightning whilst saying her prayers in 1785. the poem seems sure that some moral can be drawn from this, but somewhat confused as to detail.
