Punning Gravestone

I think I may have blipped this before. In a nearby churchyard is the grave of John Young, a supporter of the King, that is Charles Stuart II. Young died in 1688, aged 100. Thus he would have lived through the Spanish Armada, the end of the Tudors, the English civil war and killing of Charles I, the rule of Oliver Cromwell and the restoration of the monarchy. The pun on the gravestone says that although he was old, yet he died Young!
