AN EPITAPH
When I, poor fool, am coffined and can lie
Concealed at last from every foolish eye,
Then write no foolish epitaph on me,—
Unless to this most foolish you agree:
Concealed at last from every foolish eye,
Then write no foolish epitaph on me,—
Unless to this most foolish you agree:
“Born to a great position and great name,
This fool has sacrificed them both for shame,—
The shame of Love; the shame of Art; and most,
The shame of Truth; which still he seeks, poor ghost!”
This fool has sacrificed them both for shame,—
The shame of Love; the shame of Art; and most,
The shame of Truth; which still he seeks, poor ghost!”
