Epitaphs

Another on the Same

UNDER this Marble, or under this Sill,

Or under this Turf, or ev’n what they will,

Whatever an Heir, or a Friend in his stead,

Or any good creature shall lay o’er my head,

Lies one who ne’er cared, and still cares not, a pin

What they said, or may say, of the mortal within;

But who, living and dying, serene, still and free,

Trusts in God that as well as he was he shall be.
