William Cowper

An Epitaph (From the Greek)

My name—my country—what are they to thee!
What, whether base or proud my pedigree?
Perhaps I far surpass’d all other men—
Perhaps I fell below them all—what then?
Suffice it, stranger! that thou seest a tomb—
Thou know’st its use—it hides—no matter whom.
