The poem
Good frend for Iesvs sake forbeare,To digg the dvst encloased heare.Bleste be ye man yt spares thes stones,And cvrst be he yt moves my bones
was originally carved into the stone in the church floor laid over Shakespeare's grave, so it was not really a headstone. However a copy has been set up like a headstone so it is easier for folks to read.

"Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbear,
To dig the dust enclosed here:
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones."
Shakespeare wrote the saying!
