SANDRART'S INSCRIPTION,
ON ALBERT DÜRER'S GRAVE, NÜRNBERG.
Rest here, thou Prince of Painters, thou who wast better than great,In many arts unequalled in the old time or the late.
Earth thou didst paint and garnish, and now, in thy new abode,
Thou paintest the holy things overhead in the city of God.
And we, as our patron saint, look up to thee ever will,
And crown, with a laurel crown, the dust left here with us still.
