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.
