EPITAPH BY MR. POPE, FOR HIMSELF.
Under this marble, or under this fill,
Or under this turf, or e'en what they will;
Whatever an heir, or e'en 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 car'd, 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.
