מר יצעק כל גבר

Will bitter cry each man of loss

And wailing will cry that Young man was brought to grave

Taken when young; Flawless and honest man, generous man is not with us

[???] Mr. Menashe son of  Rabbi(?) Menahem Mendel may his light shine

He passed away on 15 of Iyar (5)660

May his soul be bound in the bundle of life
