Tombstone Tuesday- "my glass is... what!"

Tombstone of James Ewins,
buried at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Derry in 1781

Perhaps the carver had a bit too much grog?
There are two typos ("carvos?") on this stone,

but he could only fix one mistake:

"Rede^em your hours
My glass is Rum
And so must yours"
