[Reader, approach my urn—thou need'st not fear]
Reader, approach my urn—thou need'st not fearTh'extorted promise of one plaintive tear,
To mourn thy unknown friend—From me thou'lt learn
More than a Plato taught—the grand concern
Of mortals!—Wrapt in pensive thought, survey
This little freehold of unthinking clay,
And know thy end!
Tho' young, tho' gay, this scene of death explore,
Alas! the young, the gay is now no more!
