From the Latin on the Count of Mirandula.

Joannes jacet hic Mirandula—cætera norunt
Et Tagus & Ganges—forsan & Antipodes.

I. Lord CONINGSBY's Epitaph.

Here lies Lord Coningsby—be civil,
The rest God knows—so does the Devil.

II. Applied to F. C.

Here Francis Ch---s lies—Be civil!
The rest God knows—perhaps the Devil.
