Graves & Epitaphs
Bright
ran thy line, O Galloway
Through many a far famed sire
So ran the far famed Roman Way
So ended in a mire
On Lord Galloway
O
reader behold the philospoher's grave
He was born quite a fool but dies quite a knave
On Sir Joshua Reynolds
Here
lies a little ugly nauseous elf
Who judging only from it's wretched self
Feebly attempted, petulant and vain
The "Origin of Evil" to explain
On Soame Jenyns
Here
lies that peerless paper peer Lord Peter
Who broke the laws of God and man and metre
On Patrick Lord Robertson
Poor
GKC his day is past
Now God will know the truth at last
On GK Chesterton
Nature
and Nature's law, lay hid in night
God said, Let Newton be, and all was light
Alexander Pope
I
laid my wife
Beneath this stone
For her repose
And for my own
Ottawa
