[Here rests, beneath this grassy-border'd stone]
Here rests, beneath this grassy-border'd stone,A miser, who made man's chief good his own.
Hail marble! thus indulg'd with endless fame,
Forgotten else with some faint's half-spelt name;
That else had made the Text some Poet's own,
When, asking bread, he had receiv'd a stone.
